LYRICS

Oh, well, a-bless my soul, but what's wrong with me?

I'm itchin' like a man on a fuzzy tree

My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug

I'm in love

I'm all shook up

Hmm, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, well, 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

Hmm, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, please, don't ask me what's upon my mind

I'm a little mixed up, but I feel fine

When I'm near the girl that I love best

My heart beats, so it scares me to death

When she touched my hand, what a chill I got

Her lips are like a volcano that's hot

I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup

I'm in love

I'm all shook up

Hmm, ooh, yeah, 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 that girl that I love so fine

When she touched my hand, a-what a chill I got

Her lips are like a volcano that's hot

I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup

I'm in love

I'm all shook up

Hmm, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hmm, ooh, yeah, yeah, I'm all shook up
