I'm findin' out what love is all about
And every day, at three, when school lets out
I see my baby I get weak in the knees
There's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees

My pappy told me there'll be times like these
There's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees

We meet the gang and go to Rockin' Joe's
The cats are stomping on their heels and toes
I grab my baby, trying to give her a squeeze
There's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees

Well, why must she be such a doggone tease?
There's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees

She's got a way that makes me act like a fool
Spends my money, then she plays me [bad word] I'm begging for kisses on my bended knees
Oh, won't you give me some-a lovin'
Baby, please, please, please?

Though I keep trying hard to make her mine
One day, the wind will blow and the sun will shine
Till that time she puts my heart at ease
There's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees

She locked my heart and threw away the keys
There's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees
Yeah

She's got a way that makes me act like a fool
She spends my money, then she plays me [bad word] I'm begging for her kisses on my bended knees
Oh, won't you give me some-a lovin'
Baby, please, please, please?

Though I keep trying hard to make her mine
One day, the wind will blow and the sun will shine
Till that time she puts my heart at ease
There's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees
She locked my heart and threw away the keys

There's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees
There's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees
There's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees
There's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees
