All Shook Up

words and music by Otis Blackwell and 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' queer 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 kisses are like a vulcano 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 soul of mine
 That's to have the girl that I love so fine!
