Shook Up

Forgive me If I Seem a little rude
It was never my intention to intrude
But once I start I find it hard to stop
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm all shook up

I'm all shook up

My life a knot, my heart a hank o'yarn
I Saw you at a dance in someone's barn
Your eyes the colour of the harvest moon
I just had to have you and I had to have you soon

I'm all shook up

Don't think for a minute I'll take no for an answer
Noone ever cleared a creek in more than one bound
I know you'll come around
Before the Moon goes down

It's hard to be alone when times get rough
I tried all the harbour whores, they weren't enough
I searched the world from hell to paradise
Looking for a woman with the moonlight in her eyes

I'm all shook up

Out there somewhere along the tropic of cancer
I left my past for the crow and the hound
Just Tossed it on the ground
Never to be found

Yes, I burned my seaman's cap, I shed my skin
Threw my quest for moonlight in the bin
And now here you stand before me, buttercup
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm all shook up

I'm all shook up
