Lyrics

You shake my nerves and you rat tle my brain.

Too much love drives a man in sane.

You broke my will, but what a thrill.

(G)Good ness, gra cious, great balls of fire!

I laughed at love ’cause I thought it was fun ny.

You came a long and you moved me, hon ey.

I changed my mind, love’s just fine.

(G)Good ness, gra cious, great balls of fire!

Kiss me, ba by, woo,

it feels good.

Hold me, ba by.

(D)Girl, just let me love you like a lov er should.

You’re fine,

so kind, I’m gon na tell the world that you’re mine, mine, mine, mine.

I chew my nails and I twid dle my thumb.

I’m real ner vous, but it sure is fun.

Come on, ba by, you’re (C7)driv ing me cra zy.

(G)Good ness, gra cious, great balls of fire!

You shake my nerves and you rat tle my brain.

Too much love drives a man in sane.

You broke my will, but what a thrill.

(G)Good ness, gra cious, great balls of fire!

I laughed at love ’cause I thought it was fun ny.

You came a long and you moved me, hon ey.
