Nothin' Shakin'
The Beatles · Live At The Bbc
what love is all about,
and every day
it sure lets out.
I see my baby
I get week in my knees.
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees.
My pappie told me
there'd be times like these.
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees.
We meet the gang
and go to rocking Joes.
The cats are something
on the heels and toes.
I grab my baby,
tried to give her a squeeze.
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees.
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.
Spent my money,
then she plays me cool.
I beg her for kisses
on my bended knees.
Oh won't you give me
some loving, 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.
Spent my money,
then she plays me cool.
I'm begging her for kisses
on my bended knees.
Oh won't you give me
some of your loving, 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
