This thing, called love, I just can't handle it,
D* G C C G
this, thing, called love, I must, get round to it,
D x1333x x3555x D
I anit ready, Crazy little thing called love.
This thing, called love, it cries, in craddle at night,
it swings, it jives, it shakes, all overlike a jelly-fish,
I kinda like it, Crazy little thing called love.
G C G
There goes my baby, she knows how to rock and roll,
Bb E A
She drives me crazy, she gives me hot and cold fever,
D---3---
then she leaves me in a cool, cool sweat.

E-----------5-4-3--- EEEEEE E-5-53--2--0---
I gotta be cool, relax, get hip, get on my tracks, take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike until I'm ready,
Crazy Little thing called love.
