Lyrics
I got lumps in my throat
When I saw her comin’ down the aisle
I got the wiggles in my knees
When she looked at me and sweetly smiled
There she is again
Standin’ over by the record machine
Looking like a model
On the cover of a magazine
She’s too cute to be a minute over seventeen
Meanwhile I was thinkin’
If she’s in the mood no need to break it
I got the chance and I oughta take it
If she can dance we can make it
C’mon queenie let’s shake it
Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
Tell me who’s the queen
Standin’ over by the record machine
Looking like a model
On the cover of a magazine
She’s too cute to be a minute over seventeen
Meanwhile, I was still thinkin’
If it’s a slow song, we’ll omit it
If it’s a rocker, then we’ll get it
And if it’s good, she’ll admit it
C’mon queenie, let’s get with it
Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
Lyrics
Your cheatin’ heart will make you weep
You’ll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won’t come the whole night through
Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you
When tears come down like fallin’ rain
You’ll toss around and call my name
You’ll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you
Your cheatin’ heart will pine someday
And crave the love you threw away
The time will come when you’ll be blue
Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you
When tears come down like fallin’ rain
You’ll toss around and call my name
You’ll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you
