Love's Got a Hold on You

Alan Jackson · Original Album Classics [2011]

(Keith Stegall - Carson Chamberlein)



I called my doctor on the telephone,

''Help me doctor, there's something wrong

I can't shake it, it's gone too far.''

He said, ''Tell me what your symptoms are?''



Chorus:

I said, ''My hands are sweaty and my knees are weak

I can't eat and I can't sleep

It's turnin' me every way but loose.''

He said, ''It sounds like love's got a hold on you.

No doubt, love's got a hold on you.''



--- Instrumental ---



I told my buddies I was settlin' down

No more of this running 'round

They looked at me like I was a fool

And said, ''Come on tell us what's wrong with you?''



Chorus:

I said, ''My hands are sweaty and my knees are weak

I can't eat and I can't sleep

It's turnin' me every way but loose.''

He said, ''It sounds like love's got a hold on you.

No doubt, love's got a hold on you.''



Well, I tossed and turned 'til the morning light

Holding my pillow, hanging on for life

There ain't nothing I can do

They said, ''It sounds like love's got a hold on you.

Sounds like love's got a hold on you."



--- Instrumental ---



''Well, my hands are sweaty and my knees are weak

I can't eat and I can't sleep

It's turning me every way but loose.''

He said, ''It sounds like love's got a hold on you

No doubt, love's got a hold on you.''



''It sounds like love's got a hold on you

No doubt, love's got a hold on you.''



So long...
