All Shook Up – Can’t Buy My Love

‎Otis Blackwell‎, ‎Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Paul McCartney


Lyrics

A well I bless my soul
Whats 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!

Please don’t ask me whats 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 vulcano that’s hot
I’m proud to say shes my buttercup
I’m in love
I’m all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
I’m all shook up

Can’t buy me love,
Can’t buy me love,
I’ll buy you a diamond ring my friend
if it you makes you feel all right
I’ll get you anything my friend
if it you makes you feel all right

For I don’t care too much for money
Money can’t buy me love
Can’t buy me love
everybody tells me so
Can’t buy me love, no, no, no, no

I’ll buy you a diamond ring my friend
if it you makes you feel all right
I’ll get you anything my friend
if it you makes you feel all right

For I don’t care too much for money
for money can’t buy me love
can’t buy me love, love
can’t buy me love
