You just tear me up when you smile at me
and then my head starts buzzin' like a honey bee
My eyes won't focus and I'm so upset
I sit here shakin'in a cold cold sweat
You're makin' a fool out of me that's pretty easy to see
You just tear me up and every time we kiss
I never thought that love would ever be like this
I guess you know that I'm in love with you
I wish you'd tell me that you love me too
You're foolin' around with my heart
please don't tear it apart
Every time you kiss me
I tremble like a little ole pup
when you put your arms around me
baby you tear me up
I just wanna know if you love me too
cause if you leave me now I don't know what I'll do
I'm so in love that I can hardly speak
My head is spinnin' and I'm feelin' weak
so won't you consider my plea
don't take advantage of me
[instrumental break]
Every time you kiss me
I tremble like a little ole pup
when you put your arms around me
baby you tear me up
I just wanna know if you love me too
cause if you leave me now I don't know what I'll do
I'm so in love that I can hardly speak
My head is spinnin' and I'm feelin' weak
so won't you consider my plea
don't take advantage of me
no don't take advantage of me
no no don't take advantage of me
