There is a girl who rules my heart
I need her right here but we're miles apart
Now I have no right to love her so
She doesn't want me and this I know

But oh, I love the girl
And every day I'm tryin'
To forget about her
Stop my eyes from cryin' but listen, fellas

If she had kissed you that night
That she kissed me then
You would be in the same shape I'm in
Because one night she kissed me
And oh shucks, I felt alright
And I haven't been able to rest at night
And I guess you all are saying
That if she treated me so bad
Why do I still love her?
Why do I feel so sad?
Well, I tried to explain it to you
As best I can
And if you ever loved and lost someone
Maybe you can understand
You see, she's not just a female
She's not just a woman made of clay
She's a W-O-M-A-N in every possible way
And every time she kiss me
She sets my little soul on fire
I have to stop and catch my breath
Oh, I'll lay down somewhere and die
Uh huh, when she put her arms around me
And squeeze me tight
I feel shouting and tellin' the world
That I feel alright
Don't know what to do with myself

Don't know what to do with myself
She makes me feel alright
