José Feliciano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's wrong with Me?
I'm itching like a Man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in Love
I'm All Shook Up
Mm mm oh, Oh, Yeah, Yeah!.
And My knees are weak
I can't seem to stand
On My own two feet
Who do You thank
When You have such luck?
I'm in Love
I'm All Shook Up
Mm mm oh, Oh, Yeah, Yeah!.
Please don't ask Me what's on My mind
I'm a little mixed up, But I'm feelin' fine
When I'm near that Girl that I Love best
My Heart beats so it scares Me to death!
She touched My hand what a chill I got
Her Lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say She's My buttercup
I'm in Love
I'm All Shook Up
Mm mm oh, Oh, Yeah, Yeah!.
My tongue gets tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of Mine
That's to have the Girl that I Love so fine!
She touched My hand what a chill I got
Her Lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say She's My buttercup
I'm in Love
I'm All Shook Up
Mm mm oh, Oh, Yeah, Yeah!.
Mm mm oh, Oh, Yeah, Yeah!.
I'm All Shook Up!.
