Blood pressure (oh yes) when you're by side (oh yes)
Uh-huh-huh (oh yes)

When you speak to me (oh yes)
Uh-huh-huh (oh yes)
I get a-high blood pressure I can hardly see (oh yes)
Oh-ooh (oh yes)

Up and down as a spring
Chills run up and down my spine, it's true

(All because a-you)
I get-a high (oh yes) blood pressure (oh yes)
'Cause my eyes go mad (oh yes) for you (oh yes)

It's a terrible strain
My heart gets to thumpin'
Up and down in pain
Chills run up and down my spine, it's true
My face startin' to sweatin' an it's
(All because a-you)





I get a high blood pressure
'Cause a I'm your man (oh yes) oh yes

Legendkiller sounds like more of a Bieber fans as to stay as far away as possible from real music. Another great track

Fletcher Carter

Oh yeah!!

Edward Nethery

Legendkiller, you might have better luck killing legends if you were capable of speaking and writing in the vicinity of the English language. Who gives a rat's ass if you don't like Jerry Douglas, Keb Mo and the blues. No one is going to lose any sleep over what a musically and language impaired illiterate thinks. This is some great music sonny boy. Come near me when they are playing, and I'll personally kick your ass. I'm old, but I can still go the distance.

CompleteCretin

That doesn't make sense.

Ethan Gordon

defiantly don't like this song, cause do the whole "blues" thing

Jake Jarrell

we all like to get boozed up and surf the tubes of you.. but for the love of God censor yourself when you can no longer speak coherently. No harm and no foul, and I agree with the sentiment (I think) just saying man, maybe you should listen more and speak less.
