change a cool, cool man into a nervous wreck
baby, that's what love can do
with a heart of gold chained around your neck
doesn't mean love's not for you
though it don't come easy, take it honey, this may be your chance
the night goes on forever, when you're lookin' for romance

make an old man young, make a young man old
baby that's how love can be
change a hard rock heart into a jelly roll
while your warm blood starts to freeze
when you start to love, you feel a change of personality
you used to be so mad, but now how crazy can you be
and now you're stumbling like a jailbird on the run
love arrests you and you don't know what you've done

I ba-ba-babble like a tongue-tied man
honey, that's what love can do.
I talk sweet talk no one can understand,
baby, that's what love can do
I shake and shiver, baby, cry you a river
honey, that's what love can do

well, you wake feeling good, but you sleep so bad
and you keep cryin' all the time
to your friends' concern, you tell 'em I'm not mad
but you think that you've lost your mind
though it don't come easy, take it honey, this may be your chance
the night goes on forever, when you're lookin' for romance

I ba-ba-babble like a tongue-tied man
honey, that's what love can do
I talk sweet talk no one can understand
baby, that's what love can do
I shake and shiver, baby, cry you a river
honey, that's what love can do

and now you're mumblin'and you don't know what you're saying
you feel so worried 'til she looks your way again

I ba-ba-babble like a tongue-tied man
honey, that's what love can do
I talk sweet talk no one can understand
now baby, that's what love can do
I shake and shiver, honey, cry you a river
baby, that's what love can do
I ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-babble
honey, that's what love can do
u-oh, u-oh, that's what love can do
