Hey, I hit town without a clue Minding my business like I always do Just my luck I ran smack into you And I never could've known it would be like this You got the kind of charm that I can't resist I figure what's the harm in a little bitty kiss or two But I fell in love (Whatcha want to do that for) Oh I fell in love (Whatcha want to do that for) I fell in love Took me by surprise, put me on the floor Right between the eyes with a two by four Just a little taste and I fell in love I was doing fine out on my own Never sitting home by the telephone I couldn't complain that I didn't have much to do I was a two fisted woman looking for a fight Had a boy on my left, a boy on the right But you burned me up like a chicken at a barbeque But I fell in love (Whatcha want to do that for) Oh I fell in love (Whatcha want to do that for) I fell in love Didn't see it coming into view I was overwhelmed and overdue I ain't gonna sweat it I fell in love But I fell in love (Whatcha want to do that for) Oh I fell in love (Whatcha want to do that for) I fell in love Caught me on the blind side unaware I may be a fool but I don't care I never knew what hit me I fell in love But I fell in love (Whatcha want to do that for) Oh I fell in love (Whatcha want to do that for) I fell in love Trying to visualize what's wrong with me Got me hypnotized, I cannot see Boy you really got me I fell in love I fell in love I fell in love Oh I fell in love
