Lyrics
I feel the Earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you’re around
Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can’t stand it
When you look at me that way
Hey, I feel the Earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you’re around
Ooh, darling, when you’re near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions are something I just can’t tame
I just got to have you, baby
Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, yeah
I feel the Earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, a-tumbling down
I feel the Earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, a-tumbling down
I just a-lose control
Down to my very soul
I get-a hot and cold
All over, all over, all over, all over
I feel the Earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, a-tumbling down
I feel the Earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, a-tumbling down
A-tumbling down, a-tumbling down
A-tumbling down, tumbling down
