They say the love bug will get you at the age of twenty-three
Well, I'm not telling my age, but something's got a-hold of me
I'm just cravin' some lovin' in the old fashioned way
Honey, lend an ear and listen to all I have to say.

Why don't you haul off and love me one more time?
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm a-turning blind?
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do
I'm a-gonna haul off and die over you.

Now, darlin' come a little closer, put your little hand in mine
Let me feel your arms about me, honey, please don't change your mind
For the lovesick heart's a-throbbin' as I hold you close to mine
I'm bound to have a lot of lovin', waitin' for me on the line

Why don't you haul off and love me one more time?
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm a-turning blind?
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do
I'm a-gonna haul off and die over you.

I can feel your warm lips near me, hear you breath so soft and fine
I can feel the matrimony crawlin' up and down my spine
I don't believe this love will hurt you 'cause it feels so nice and fine
It seems mighty close to heaven when your love is on the line.

Why don't you haul off and love me one more time?
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm a-turning blind?
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do
I'm a-gonna haul off and die over you.
