Great Balls of Fire
Jerry Lee Lewis Lyrics

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, but what a thrill
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny
You came along and you moved me honey
I've changed my mind, this love is fine
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

Kiss me, baby, ooh, feels good
Hold me, baby
Well, I'll still love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
Got to tell this world that you're mine, mine, mine, mine

I chew my nails and then I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous, but it sure is fun
Come on, baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

Well kiss me, baby, ooh, feels good
Hold me, baby
Well, I'll still love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
Got to tell this world that you're mine, mine, mine, mine

I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
Real nervous, but it sure is fun
Come on, baby, drive me crazy
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

My local classic rock station made my day with this song today! I listen to them while I'm at work on a radio from the late 1950s. Old vacuum tube Zenith set. I sent a text request in before I clocked in and they played it! Hearing music from 1957 on a radio from 1957 alongside hearing my message read aloud on air and the jocks expressing fascination with old radios...fuck yeah.

No sabía que este cantante era el creador del rock roll.
Y se nota viendo este video.
A mí me sigue gustando descubrir estás historias de esa época. Por lo que uno ve aquí él fue adelantado a su época.
Con estás notas que he descubierto a grande artistas como los maravillosos The plathers
¡¡¡ qué voces más maravillosas, y este talentoso cantante y pianista era otra excepción.
Gracias por toda lo que hacen descubriendo esas vidas de los grandes talentos de épocas musicales pasadas, que tantos talentos dieron, hoy tristemente las voces son muchas veces falsas pues con las ayudas técnicas se hacen más aceptables.
También en la época de los 80 hubieron grandes estrellas de la música; lo que hoy no se escucha y ni se ve.
