Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's please don't tease
If I can hold you then
Let me squeeze
My heart goes 'round and 'round
My love comes tumblin' down
You leave me breathless
You know why
I'm sure it's love and
That's no lie
'Cause when you call my name
You know I burn like wood inflamed
You leave me breathless
Oh, baby, mm crazy
You're much too much
Honey, I can't love you enough
It's all right to hold me tight
But when you love me
Love me right
Oh, come on, baby
Don't be shy
'Cause love was meant for you and I
Wind, rain, sleet or snow
I'm gonna be wherever you go
You have left me breathless
Well, it's all right to hold me tight
But when you love me
Love me right
Oh, come on, baby
Don't be shy
Love was meant for you and I
Wind, rain, sleet or snow
I'm going to be wherever you go
You leave me breathless

Of all Jerry Lee’s road band drummers Russell Smith always seemed to be the one who knew exactly what the Killer was going to do and just when he was going to do it! RIP Russ.

@One salty zombie sorry to hear that. He would have had sooo many cool stories. Imagine the ones he wouldn’t tell you. Crazy stuff.

No shit!? He’d be one cool cat.
C. Wilson
This is the soundtrack to my life. I sing it at the top of my voice still at 69 years old.
WW2 music and 50's and 60's music will never be topped. So pure and happy. Sinatra and Beatles and Elvis and Beach Boys and Judy Garland and Peggy Lee will never be topped.

@C Wilson you are the coolest!!! I wish I could dance with you!
Bella Pousar
C. Wilson I'm 15 and really wished i lived when those real songs were popular... JLL, Cash, Berry, Fats Domino, Elvis and Carl Perkins etc etc is/was the greatest singers of all time!
