Transcriber: Awcantor

When I saw your smilin' face

Spreadin' joy all over the place

I said, 'Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo'

Please save me from going crazy

'Cause you're givin' me spasms, baby!

I went to the doctor, the doctor said

Without your love I'd soon be dead

I said, 'Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo'

Please save me from goin' crazy

'Cause you're givin' me spasms, baby!

Oh what a fit, I alway get

A-when you touch my shakin' hand

If ya tell me this ain't love

I know right away you don't understand

You kiss me once, um-hmm

I ask for more

You kiss me twice, woo!

I hit the floor

I said, 'Woo-ooo-ooo'

Please save me, from goin' crazy

Oh, you givin' me spasms, baby!

(Instrumental and guitar)

Oh what a fit, I always get

A-when ya touch my shakin' hand

If ya tell me this ain't love

I know by the way ya don't understand

You squeeze me tight, hmm

I got the feelin'!

You squeeze me tighter

And I hit the Ceilin!

I said, Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh

Please save me, from goin' crazy

Ooh, you givin' me spasms, baby!
