[Verse 1]
C
They say a lovebug will get you at the age of twenty three
                                       G7
I'm not tellin' my age but something's got a hold of me
         C
I'm just cravin' some lovin' in the old fashioned way
       F               C         G7            C
Honey, lend an ear and listen to all I have to say


[Chorus]
C
Why don't you haul off and love me, one more time
                                           G7
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turnin' blind
             C
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do
                       G7       C
I'm gonna haul off and die over you

[Verse 2]
C
Now, darlin', come a little closer, put your little hand in mine
                                       G7
Let me feel your arms about me, honey, please don't change your mind
        C
For the lovesick heart's a-throbbin' as I hold you close to mine
             F             C              G7            C
I'm bound to have a lot of lovin' waitin' for me on the line


[Chorus]
C
Why don't you haul off and love me, one more time
                                             G7
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm a-turnin' blind
             C
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do
                       G7       C
I'm gonna haul off and die over you

[Verse 3]
C
Now, I can feel your warm lips near me, hear your breathin' soft and fine
                                  G7
I can feel the matrimony crawlin' up and down my spine
          C
I don't believe that love will hurt you 'cause it feels so nice and kind
         F               C                G7             C
It seems mighty close to heaven when your love is on the line


[Chorus]
C
Why don't you haul off and love me, one more time
                                           G7
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turnin' blind
             C
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do
                       G7       C
I'm gonna haul off and die over you
