I'm finding out what love is all about Every day at three when school lets out I'll see my baby I get weak in the knees There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees Why must she be such a dog gone tease There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees We meet the gang and go to Rockin' Joe's The cats are stomping on their heels and toes I grab my baby try and give her a squeeze There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees My daddy told me there be times like these There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees She's got a way that makes me act like a fool Spends my money then she treats me cruel I'm beggin' for her kisses on bended knees Give me some lovin' baby please please please I keep trying hard to make her mine Some day the wind will blow the sun will shine Until the time she puts my heart at ease There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees She lock my heart and throw away the key There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees She's got a way that makes me act like a fool Spends my money then she treats me cruel I'm beggin' for her kisses on bended knees Give me some lovin' please please please
