Can't believe it

Well now

Well, it felt like my balls on fire
When the rebel took a little child bride
To tease yeah you know you can please me, yeah

'Cause love cuts a million ways
And it shakes the devil if he misbehaves
You know I ain't nobody's fool
Come on, shake it up
'Ever I do

Rock the cradle of love
Rock the cradle of love
The cradle of love don't rock easily, it's true
Well now, I'm sent from heaven above, that's right
To rock the cradle of love
Yes, the cradle of love don't rock easily, it's true
Well now

Flesh for your Romeo and-a
Ah yeah, baby

Well, it burned like my balls on fire
When the rebel took a little child bride
To tease, yeah, you know how to please me, yeah

This love starts a rollin' train and-a
You can't stop it

You know I ain't nobody's fool
