I've tried the best I could to correct the lyrics for
"Guess I'm falling in love"
(the live version from "Peel slowly and see").
Here's what I think he's singing:
I've got fever in my pocket, baby
I've got to groove
Yeah, babe, I guess I'm fallin' in love
I've got fever in my pocket
Down to my shoes
Oh, baby, I guess I'm fallin' in love
I've got it in my pocket, babe
Everything that I can have
I've got things in my love life
That's gonna work out fine
It's gonna be all right
I've got to move
You've got your own love style
Yeah, now, babe, I guess I'm fallin' in love
I've got fever in my pocket
Down to my shoes
Oh, babe, I guess I'm fallin' in love
You better move it on, sweet babe
Hey on down to your shoes
Things they ain't right, mamma
You know it'll work out fine
Hey, you gotta loose
Got a hand in my pocket
You know it's up your street
Oh, babe, I guess I'm fallin' in love
I've got ancles in my bracelets
Spine is hard to move
Oh, baby, I guess I'm fallin' in love
Oh, baby, I guess I'm fallin' in love
Oh, baby, I guess I'm fallin' in love
