Hank Locklin - Why Don't You Haul Off and Love Me Lyrics

THEY SAY A LOVEBUG WILL GET YOU
AT THE AGE OF FORTY THREE
I'M NOT TELLIN' MY AGE
BUT SOMETHING GOT A HOLD OF ME

I'M JUST CRAVIN' SOME LOVIN'
IN THE OLD FASHIONED WAY
HONEY, LEND AN EAR
AND LISTEN TO ALL I HAVE TO SAY

WHY DON'T YOU HAUL OFF AND LOVE ME, ONE MORE TIME
WHY DON'T YOU SQUEEZE ME UNTIL I'M TURNIN' BLIND
IF YOU DON'T CUDDLE UP AND LOVE ME
LIKE I WANT YOU TO DO
I'M GONNA HAUL OFF AND DIE OVER YOU

NOW, DARLIN', COME A LITTLE CLOSER
PUT YOUR LITTLE HAND IN MINE
LET ME FEEL YOUR ARMS ABOUT ME, HONEY
PLEASE DON'T CHANGE YOUR MIND

FOR THE LOVESICK HEART'S A-THROBBIN'
AS I HOLD YOU CLOSE TO MINE
I'M BOUND TO HAVE A LOT OF LOVIN'
WAITIN' FOR ME ON THE LINE.

WHY DON'T YOU HAUL OFF AND LOVE ME, ONE MORE TIME
WHY DON'T YOU SQUEEZE ME UNTIL I'M TURNIN' BLIND
IF YOU DON'T CUDDLE UP AND LOVE ME
LIKE I WANT YOU TO DO
I'M GONNA HAUL OFF AND DIE OVER YOU

NOW, I CAN FEEL YOUR WARM LIPS NEAR ME
HEAR YOUR BREATHIN' SOFT AND FINE
I CAN FEEL THE MATRIMONY CRAWLIN'
UP AND DOWN MY SPINE

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT LOVE WILL HURT YOU
'CAUSE IT FEELS SO NICE AND KIND
IT SEEMS MIGHTY CLOSE TO HEAVEN
WHEN YOUR LOVE IS ON THE LINE

WHY DON'T YOU HAUL OFF AND LOVE ME, ONE MORE TIME
WHY DON'T YOU SQUEEZE ME UNTIL I'M TURNIN' BLIND
IF YOU DON'T CUDDLE UP AND LOVE ME
LIKE I WANT YOU TO DO
I'M GONNA HAUL OFF AND DIE OVER YOU
