Lyrics
Well Daddy always said “you better look out, Boy There are people out there who will treat you like a toy When you’re brand new they always want you to play But when they get tired of you they’ll throw you away” Well Daddy never was very far off the mark And I’ve known a woman or two to threw away my heart So by the time I met you I was such a sight to see I threw up my defenses, naturally ‘Cause you got me shakin’ shakin’ shakin’ in my boots You told me that your love for me was true Now my heart is all a-flutter and my mind is all a-whirl I think I’m getting crazy for you girl Well Mama once said, “Listen to me, Son There is more to lovin’ than simply having fun When you love a woman play it straight from the start It’s a beautiful thing when she gives you her heart” Now, Mama never gave me any bad advice It’s my own damned fault I got burned once (or twice) So when you leaned over and you whispered in my ear The pounding in my chest was all I could hear ‘Cause you got me shakin’ shakin’ shakin’ in my boots You told me that your love for me was true Now my heart is all a-flutter and my mind is all a-whirl I’m getting crazy crazy for you girl Now I’ve done a lot of thinking ‘bout the two of us I’ll tell it to you straight ‘Cause I owe you that much I ain’t felt this good since I don’t know when But I don’t really want to get burned again I want to take you in my arms, I want to turn and run Want to say there’s someone else, want to tell you you’re the one I want to hold you close, I want to push you away You can hear my knees knocking from a mile away ‘Cause you got me shakin’ shakin’ shakin’ in my boots ‘Cause I just told you that I love you too And now my heart is all a-flutter and my mind is all a-whirl I’m crazy crazy crazy for you, girl
