=============================================


        Well there ain't no other woman
        that makes me feel this way
        Oh, when she moves up close
        well I just ain't a word to say

        Oh, please don't touch
        what shake so much
        Oh, please don't touch
        what shake so much

        Well I get so nervous
        when I see her eyes that shine
        Yeah, she looks right through me
        and the chills run down my spine

        Oh, please don't touch
        what shake so much
        Please don't touch
        what shake so much

        Well I don't know why she got her claws in me
        I wanna be a bachelor, fancy free
        Oh, running from the preacher, boy what a relief
        I'm gonna spend my life shakin' like a leaf

        Oh, well remembering the first time her
        ruby lips brushes my cheek
        Well I opened my mouth
        but the rest of me just wouldn't speak, yeah

        Oh, please don't touch
        what shake so much
        Please don't touch
        what shake so much

        Oh well, don't you touch me baby
        'cause I'm shakin' so much, ah
        don't you touch me baby
        'cause I'm shakin' so much, ah
        No-no baby, don't you touch alright
        don't you touch me baby
        'cause I'm shakin' so much, ah
        Don't you touch me baby
        'cause I'm shakin' so much, ah
