Why Don't You Haul off and Love Me
Craving Old-Fashioned Love: Little Willie John's Passionate Plea
Lyrics
They say the love bug will get you at the age of twenty three
At the age of twenty-three, people say one becomes susceptible to love.
I'm not telling my age but something got a hold of me
While not revealing the age, the singer acknowledges being affected by love.
I'm just craving some lovin' in that old fashion way
The singer desires love in a traditional and old-fashioned manner.
Honey linger near and listen to all I had to say
The singer urges their partner to stay close and listen to their feelings.
Why don't you haul off and love me one more time
An appeal to the partner to express love once again.
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turning blind
A request to embrace the singer tightly, overwhelming their senses.
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do
If the partner doesn't reciprocate love as desired, the singer feels desperate.
I'm gonna haul off and die over you
Expressing the extreme emotional impact of unrequited love, contemplating its toll on the singer's well-being.
Now honey come a little closer put your little hand in mine
Inviting the partner to come closer and hold hands.
Let me feel your arms about me honey please don't change your mind
Requesting the partner to maintain physical closeness and not change their feelings.
Cause my lovesick heart's a troublin' as I hold you close to mine
Expressing the singer's troubled heart as they embrace the partner.
I'm just havin' lot of lovin' waitin' for me on the line
Acknowledging the abundance of love waiting for the singer.
Why don't you haul off and love me
A repetition of the plea for the partner to express love.
Now I can feel your warm lips near me hear you breathe so soft and fine
Sensing the partner's proximity and feeling their warmth and breath.
I can feel the matrimony crawlin' up and down my spine
Describing the intense and positive physical sensations associated with love.
I don't believe that love will hurt you cause it feels so nice and kind
Rejecting the belief that love can cause harm, emphasizing its pleasant and kind nature.
I get mighty close to heaven when your love is on the line
Expressing the profound joy experienced when the partner's love is present.
Why don't you haul off and love me
A repetition of the plea for the partner to express love.
