They say the love bug will get you at the age of 23

I'm not telling my age but something got a hold of me

I'm just craving some lovin' in that old fashion way

Honey linger near and listen to all I had to say

Why don't you haul off and love me one more time

Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turning blind

If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do

I'm gonna haul off and die over you

[ guitar ]

Now honey come a little closer put your little hand in mine

Let me feel your arms about me honey please don't change your mind

Cause my lovesick heart's a troublin' as I hold you close to mine

I'm just havin' lot of lovin' waitin' for me on the line

Why don't you haul off and love me...

[ guitar ]

Now I can feel your warm lips near me hear you breathe so soft and fine

I can feel the matrimony crawlin' up and down my spine

I don't believe that love will hurt you cause it feels so nice and kind

I get mighty close to heaven when your love is on the line

Why don't you haul off and love me...
