I was a tall cool cat and I was on my own

Calling girlie after girl on my telephone

Then she stopped me in my tracks with those coal black eyes

She put me on my back, I was paralyzed.

My baby's love is hard, my baby's love is tough

If I were anybody else I'd o' had enough

Cause she treats me like a dawg, not a cute little pup

But I've fallen in love and I can't get up!

Get up!

I've fallen in love

And I can't get up!

I've fallen in love.

I was a billion dollar baby in a diamond dress

Now I'm a dirty desperado and a steaming mess

She drive me nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof

She's like a dirty cup of poison that I can't refuse.

My baby's love is hard, my baby's love is rough

If I were anybody else I'd o' had enough

...

Cause I've fallen in love and I can't get up!

Get up!

I've fallen in love

And I can't get up!

I've fallen in love.

Now I'm laying on the floor, I'm a broken mess

Somebody rescue me, I'm in distress

I need an s.o.s.

My baby's love is hard, my baby's love is tough

If I were anybody else I'd o' had enough

Cause she treats me like a dawg, not a cute little pup

But I've fallen in love and I can't get up!

Get up!

I've fallen in love

And I can't get up!

I've fallen in love.
