sort of get tangled up with
your words?
C 
Yeah, that's the one,
D 
that's the one, yeah.
G 
And when you take a walk,
you and your lady,
have you got two left feet?
That's right,
and it's sure for the birds.
F#m 
Fm 
And do you get all hot and flustered
Em 
D 
when the lady straightens your tie? man,
it's really murder.
Bm 
An  d when you meet her father,
do you get a feeling
Em 
D 
that you're wanted by the FBI?

When she says hello,
C 
D 
do your heart and your stomach
turn over and start tight?
Oh, I really got it bad.

When you're at the show
and you're eating popcorn,
do your hands sorta meet
