Can't eat, I can’t sleep
I'm so nervous, I can't keep the beat
Can’t run, I can't hide
And I damn sure can't keep her satisfied

Drifting and drifting like a ship at sea
Her love is killing me

Burning hot, a big flame
Built like a shotgun on a 22 frame
She's got soul, huh, she got a lotta heart
Knows how to make the best plans fall apart

And I ain't but half the man I used to be
Her love is killing me

Off and on like a flashing light
First thing in the morning and the last thing at night
Twisting and turning like a hurricane
Her love is driving me insane

My head hurts, my body aches
I quit drinking, but I got the shakes
So sore, I can hardly walk
And I just mumble when I tr-tr-try to talk

Stumbling and tumbling like a bumblebee
Her love is killing me
Her love is killing me

If I could just give her love for a night
I'd get me some lovin', it's gonna be alright
I can see that wicked look in your eyes
Looks like we gonna be here a while

Can’t relax, I'm uptight
I'm taking pain relievers every night
So tense, I can’t cope
And I'd be hanging if I had some rope

Flipping and tripping like an old hippie
Her love (her love) is killing me
Her love (her love) is killing me
