Lyrics:

I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heartbeat keeps on a hammering, yeah
I met a little cutie back in sixty-six
She used to tie you up
And beat you with a walking stick
I said, 'Mama, call a doctor you must be sick!'
She told me that's the only way I get my kicks
I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heartbeat keeps on a hammering
I been around the world about a time and again
I met a little chick in an opium den
She put a spell on me that'd freeze a man
I said, 'help me, save me', but she did it again
I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heartbeat keeps on a hammering
Yeah, ok
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
I met a little lady just yesterday
Lord, she loves me in a special way
She put coffee in my tea and she love to say

'I wanna hold you, I wanna keep you, baby
Now don't be afraid'
I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heartbeat keeps on a hammering, yeah
I don't wanna lose; I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna lose;
I don't wanna lose myself in love again, yeah
No, no, lord no
I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heartbeat, yes my beating heart
My heartbeat keeps on hammering
