Well, I was shaking in my shoes, running from the blues, Just a-bouncing round the corner with nothing left to lose! Then you walked in, honey, looking so divine, And you set my heavy heart on a double-time line! Oh, Johnny Cash was right when he laid down that beat, But you got something shaking all the way to my feet! 'Cause I get the rhythm when I'm next to you! Well, my tongue gets tied and my face turns blue! Lord, you light my fuse, you make my spirit burn, Every time you look at me, my head starts to turn! A-one, two, three, four, tell me what to doβ I get the rhythm when I'm next to you! (Wooo!) Well, my hands are getting sweaty and my hair's a-standing up, Iβm like a hound dog drinking from a lovestruck cup! You got eyes like diamonds and a smile like flame, And Iβm a-sitting here a-stuttering your sweet, sweet name! Forget the grand piano, honey, push it to the wall, 'Cause loving you is better than a rock and roll ball! 'Cause I get the rhythm when I'm next to you! Well, my tongue gets tied and my face turns blue! Lord, you light my fuse, you make my spirit burn, Every time you look at me, my head starts to turn! A-one, two, three, four, tell me what to doβ I get the rhythm when I'm next to you! Oh My, My, woman, look what you've done! We ain't even started and we're having so much fun! Shake it to the left, shake it to the right, We're gonna rock this parlor till the middle of the night! Hoo-wee! Hit it again, boys! Yeah, I got it bad, babe! And I'm never gonna quit! Just standing by your side makes my poor heart flip! A-one more time! I get the rhythm when I'm next to you! Yeah, boom!
