Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis

Great Balls of Fire
by Jerry Lee Lewis

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

I laughed at love, 'cuase I thought I was funny
You came along and moved me honey
I changed my mind, this love looking fine
Goodness gracious great balls of fire

You kissed me baby, hmm, it feels good
Hold me baby, well I wants to love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
I could tell thisworld that you're mine mine mine mine

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

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

I cut my nails and 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
