LYRICS

I look at you, and, wham! I'm head over heels

I guess that love is a banana peel

I feel so bad, and yet I'm feeling so well

I slipped, I stumbled, I fell

One crazy kiss, and, bam! I head for the skies

I guess that love is like a cake of ice

You skate along, but then you can never tell

I slipped, I stumbled, I fell

I never thought I'd get kicked by your sweet talking lies

You got a bag of tricks

And when you got busy, I got dazzled and dizzy

I fell like a ton of bricks

My knees are weak, my head is spinning around

I guess that love has turned me upside down

Thought I'd get hurt, but, gee, it's turning out swell

I slipped, I stumbled, I fell

I never thought I'd get kicked by your sweet talking lies

You got a bag of tricks

And when you got busy, I got dazzled and dizzy

I fell like a ton of bricks

My knees are weak, my head is spinning around

I guess that love has turned me upside down

Thought I'd get hurt, but, gee, it's turning out swell

I slipped, I stumbled, I fell

I slipped, I stumbled, I fell
