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.
