When our kisses fly like oak leaves
Caught in a gust of wind
My heart beats fast, a clickty-clack
Like a train goin' round a bend

I call that lovin' up a storm
I said that's lovin' up a storm
Well it's good for you honey
It won't do you no harm

Ah when a we get with it darlin'
All I can hear is a sigh
Something touches you deep in your heart
Like it's lightin' from the sky

Whoaa lovin up a storm!
Well it's good for you baby
It won't do you no harm

Ohhhhh!

When we're embracing darlin'
I get wild as a hurricane
Ah when we kiss great balls of fire
Ice-water's running through my veins

I call that lovin' up a storm
Ohhh lovin' up a storm
Well it's good for you baby
It won't do you no harm

Well it's good for you baby
It won't do you no harm
Oh, it's good for you baby
It won't do you no harm

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
