Well ever since the day that you left me I been whinin' like a little ole pup

Somewhere down when you left town and you ain't a gonna come back up

A walkin' and wearin' out leather a skippin' out the hardwood floor

Starin' at the phone that you've been gone and listenin' for the knock on the door

Well there ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

And they wouldn't shake if it wasn't for the breeze

There ain't nothin' happenin' with the birds and the bees

There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves

[ steel ]

Now hurt's lookin' in through the window my heartaches are laughin' in the hall

And I got news that old man blues are peepin' through the cracks in the wall

The end is a waitin' round the corner and hope is just about gone

If you only knew what I need to do then you'd come a running back home

Oh well there ain't nothin' shakin'...

There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves there ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves
