A Case Of The Shakes

(otis rush)

I want to make violent love
To you by the moon above
I want to make violent love to you

I want to kiss every night
And hold and hug you tight
I want to make violent love to you

I don't want to be frantic
I don't want to cramp your style
You're driving me into a panic
You almost drive me wild

I want to make whoopee too
And have a little fun with you
I want to make violent love to you

- solo -

I don't want to be frantic
I don't want to cramp your style
You're driving me into a panic
You almost drive me wild

I want to make whoopee too
And have a little fun with you
I want to make violent love to you

Well i mean
You look good to me
Something you got
Has got a hold of me

But honey, baby what can i say
I can't help it you don't run away
Your body
Your body
Your body
Your body drives me wild
Your body
Your body
Your body
Your body drives me wild

You're big for your size
You look young for your age
You hurt my sides
When i close to your face

But honey, baby what can i say
I can't help ityou don't run away
Your body
Your body
Your body
Your body drives me wild
Your body
Your body
Your body
Your body drives me wild

You treat a man like a dog and that's just what you get
You may try to leave him but he'll follow you yet
Can't do a thing to get him off a your trail
You better give up, he's hot on your tail

You used to laugh at me when i said i'll come back
You let me roll over, you let me play dead
You think your little lap dog is dragging you down
I'm a oooh love hound

You went downtown and i followed you there
A sniff of perfume still hung in the air
You took the taxi, i took my time
Rolled down the window and you hid me outside

You used to laugh at me when i said i'll come back
You let me roll over, you let me play dead
You think your little lap dog is dragging you down
I'm a oooh love hound

No earthly reason to live in my home
Just pure motor reflex is keeping me going
Don't bother explaining it'll bring me down child
All i can hear is the call of the wild

You can tease your little puppy mama, that's alright
But when they grow up they just love to fight
You tremble in the dark when you hear that sound
I'm a oooh love hound

A love hound howls under the moon
A love hound gonna come and love you soon
Love you baby till the morning light
Feel that little old love hound bite
Open up your window mama, what's that sound
I'm a oooh love hound

You know good thing
You drive me to drink
If i've had my way
I'd put you away
Baby, you got it coming to you

The way you do
Baby, you better come through
Clean up your acts
I'm grinding my axe
Baby, you got it coming to you

I'm sorry you're not glad about it
In fact i'm even proud about it
What i did and who with

You've had your day
Get down on your knees girl, start to pray
Love isn't blind
You better hope i'll change my mind
Baby, you got it coming to you

- guitar solo -

Love isn't blind
You better hope i'll change my mind
Baby, you got it coming to you
You got it coming
Oh baby, got it coming
You got it coming to you
You got it coming to you

Some say you're a scrubber
Some say you're contagious too
I don't care when they shoot the air
From where i'm standing you're beautiful
Some say that you're ugly
Some say that you're past it too
I don't mind when they shoot that line
Cause the oldest fiddle plays the sweetest tune

I want you best in the world
I want you best in the world
I want you best in the world
I want you best in the world

Some say you're a danger
Some say you're a teaser too
Sticks and stones will never break your bones
From where i'm standing you're beautiful

I want you best in the world
I want you best in the world
I want you best in the world
I want you best in the world

They say that beauty is only skin deep
And they say it's in the eye of the beholder
I don't know i just can't agree
Cause all i know is when i see you gotta hold ya

- guitar break -

I want you best in the world
I want you best in the world
I want you best in the world
I want you best in the world

Sheila sheila well what you know
I should have said this a long time ago
You got a case of the shakes
A case of the shakes
You make me tired when your permanently wired
Baby got another classic case of the shakes

Getting out of bed you just can't stand
Stir your coffee with a shaky hand
You got a case of the shakes
A case of the shakes
You make me tired when your permanently wired
Baby got another classic case of the shakes

Listen baby now listen good
You won't come down and i wish you would
A case of the shakes
A case of the shakes
I think it's time that you started trying
You'll be dying with a case of the shakes

Don't just think you're the only girl
I some times think that the rest of the world
Has got a case of the shakes
Case of the shakes
You make me tired when your permanently wired
Baby got another classic case of the shakes

Case of the shakes, got a case of the shakes
