I don`t wanna lose myself in love again,
But my heartbeat keeps on a hammering, yeah.
I met a little cutie back in sixty-
six, She used to tie you up
And beat you with a walking stick.
I said, `Mama, call a doctor you
must be sick!`
She told me that`s the only way I
get my kicks.
I don`t wanna lose myself in love again,
But my heartbeat keeps on a hammering.
I been around the world about a
time and again,
I met a little chick in an opium
den.
She put a spell on me that`d freeze
a man,
I said, `help me, save me`, but she
did it again.
I don`t wanna lose myself in love again,
But my heartbeat keeps on a hammering,
yeah, ok.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
I met a little lady just yesterday,
Lord, she loves me in a special way.
She put coffee in my tea and she love to say,
`I wanna hold you, I wanna keep you, baby,
Now don`t be afraid`.
I don`t wanna lose myself in love again,
But my heartbeat keeps on a hammering, yeah.
I don`t wanna lose; I don`t wanna lose,
I don`t wanna lose;
I don`t wanna lose myself in love again, yeah.
No, no, lord no.
I don`t wanna lose myself in love again,
But my heartbeat, yes my beating heart,
My heartbeat keeps on hammering.
