All Shook Up

words music by Otis Blackwell - Elvis Presley

A well I bless my soul

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!

My hands are shaky 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 get 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!
