Oh well, a bless my soul, what's wrong with me?
I'm shakin' like a girl in the highest tree.
The King says I'm acting wild as a bug,
And I'm scared. Oooooh! I'm all shook up.
Uh-huh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!

My hands are shakin' and my knees are weak.
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet.
What do you think when you're in this muck?
For I'm scared. Oooooh! I'm al shook up.
Uh-huh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Well, please don't ask me what's on my mind.
I'm a little upset, and I'm not fine.
I used to love that rich man best.
But now his mean ways scare me to death!

He barked my name, what a scare I got.
His words were like a stake burnin' so hot.
I cannot call him my buttercup,
For I'm scared. Ooooh! I'm all shook up!
Uh-huh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

My throat chokes up if I try to speak.
My body's a-quakin' like the leaves on the trees.
There's only one cure for this fear of mine.
That's for him to say that things will be fine.

(Repeat third five lines)

Uh-huh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Uh-huh, oh, yeah, yeah! I'm all shook up!
Uh-huh, oh, yeah, yeah! I'm all shook up!
