(Steve Earle's version)
The first time I laid eyes on you
I checked myself right out of this world
One thing will bring me back from this heart attack
And that's your sweet lovin', girl
Ooh, your huggin' and kissin'
Mmm, made my lights come on
You put the crush on me
Little girl, can't you see I'm gone
And now I ain't gonna listen to reason
There's no excuse for the way that I feel
Before one word was spoke
I knew it was no joke
Baby, this love is real
They say you gotta take time to know her
But I can't wait that long
You put the crush on me
Little girl, can't you see I'm gone
You put the crush, crush
My mouth turns to mush
I can't begin to speak of all of your charms
You put the crush, crush
Ooh, what a rush
Now, I can't be satisfied until I'm wrapped up in your arms
Ain't that some kind of love, babe
You know I'm not puttin' you on
You put the crush on me
Little girl, can't you see I'm gone
You put the crush, crush
My mouth turns to mush
I can't begin to speak of all of your charms
You put the crush, crush
Ooh, what a rush
Now, I can't be satisfied until I'm wrapped up in your arms
Ain't that some kind of love, babe
You know I'm not puttin' you on
You put the crush on me
Little girl, can't you see I'm gone
