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!
