All Shook Up
Suzi Quatro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm itchin' like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm acting queer as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
My hands are shaking 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
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Well, please don't ask me what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up, but I'm feeling fine
When I'm with the girl that I love best
My heart beats so, and it scares me to death
She touches my hand and what a thrill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
[Instrumental break]
Well, bless my soul. What's wrong with me?
I'm itchin' like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm acting queer as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Suzi Quatro's song "All Shook Up" is a classic rock and roll ballad about being head over heels in love, but not being able to control the physical effects of those emotions. The song starts with the singer acknowledging that something is wrong with them, that they are "itchin' like a man on a fuzzy tree" and that their friends think they are acting strange. However, the singer realizes that these physical symptoms are simply because they are in love and "all shook up."
As the song continues, the singer describes how their hands are shaking, their knees are weak, and they feel like they can't stand on their own two feet. They are so overwhelmed by their love that they don't even know who to thank for their good fortune. Despite feeling mixed up, the singer also realizes that being with the one they love makes their heart beat faster and fills them with excitement.
The song ends with the singer proudly proclaiming that the one they love is their "buttercup." The backup vocals reiterate that the singer is "all shook up" and that the person they love has them completely wrapped around their finger.
Overall, "All Shook Up" is a fun and upbeat rock and roll love song that perfectly captures the giddy feeling of being in love.
