Lyrics
- Why am I just as happy as a child?
Why am I like a racehorse running wild?
Why am I In a state of ecstasy?
The reason is ’cause something’s happened to me
Chorus
I’m in love again, and the spring is comin’
I’m in love again, hear my heart strings strummin’
I’m in love again, and the tune I’m hummin’
Is the “Huddle Up, Cuddle Up Blues”
I’m in love again, and I can’t rise above it
I’m in love again, and I love, love, love it
I’m in love again, and I’m darn glad of it
Good news!
- Someone sad had the awful luck to meet
Someone bad, but the kind of bad that’s sweet
No one knows, what a glimpse of paradise
Someone who’s naughty showed to someone who’s nice
