When I saw your smilin' face
Spreadin' joy all over the place
I said, 'Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo'
Please save me from going crazy
'Cause you're givin' me spasms, baby!
I went to the doctor, the doctor said
Without your love I'd soon be dead
I said, 'Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo'
Please save me from goin' crazy
'Cause you're givin' me spasms, baby!
Oh what a fit, I alway get
A-when you touch my shakin' hand
If ya tell me this ain't love
I know right away you don't understand
You kiss me once, um-hmm
I ask for more
You kiss me twice, woo!
I hit the floor
I said, 'Woo-ooo-ooo'
Please save me, from goin' crazy
Oh, you givin' me spasms, baby!
(Instrumental and guitar)
Oh what a fit, I always get
A-when ya touch my shakin' hand
If ya tell me this ain't love
I know by the way ya don't understand
You squeeze me tight, hmm
I got the feelin'!
You squeeze me tighter
And I hit the Ceilin!
I said, Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh
Please save me, from goin' crazy
Ooh, you givin' me spasms, baby!

Little Willie John, stage name of William Edward John (1937-1968), was an American singer and songwriter of rhythm and blues. Born in Montgomery, Alabama, John began his musical career in the 1950s, quickly becoming a key figure in the R and B scene thanks to his powerful voice and theatrical style. ?? Among his most notable successes are "All Around the World", "Fever" (which was later covered by Peggy Lee) and "Let It Rain". John collaborated with several prominent artists, including Ray Charles and Sam Cooke.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
