A-well-a bless my soul
What's wrong with me
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm acting wild as a bug
I'm in love! I'm all shook up!
Mm-mm-mm mm-mm! Yeah-yeah!!

My hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck
I'm in love! I'm all shook up!
Mm-mm-mm mm-mm! Yeah-yeah!!

Please don't ask me what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up but I'm feeling fine
When I'm near that girl that i love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death

* She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love! I'm all shook up!
Mm-mm-mm mm-mm! Yeah-yeah!!

My tongue gets tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
That's to have the gal that I love so fine!

* Repeat

Mm-mm-mm mm-mm! Yeah-yeah!!
I'm all shook up!
