Well I'm love struck baby I must confess
Life without you darlin' is a solid mess
Thinkin' 'bout you baby give me such a thrill
I gotta have you baby....Can't get my fill
I love ya baby an' I know just what to do

I still remember....and let it be said
The way you make me feel it take a fool to forget
I swore a ton of bricks had hit me in the head
And what you do little baby....I ain't over yet

Every time I see ya make me feel so fine
My heart beatin' crazy....My blood runnin' wild
Your lovin' makes me feel like a mighty mighty man
Love me baby ain't I your man

I'm a love struck baby
Yeah I'm a love struck baby
You got me love struck baby
And I know just what to do

Sparks start flyin' every time we meet
Let me tell you baby you knock me off my feet
Your kisses trip me up and they're just doggone sweet
Don't you know baby you can't be beat

I'm a love struck baby
Yeah I'm a love struck baby
You got me love struck baby
And I know just what to do
