Lyrics
I look at you and wham I’m head over heelsI guess that love is a banana peelI feel so bad and yet I’m feeling so wellI slipped, I stumbled, I fellOne crazy kiss and bam I head for the skiesI guess that love is like a cake of iceYou skate along but then you never can tellI slipped, I stumbled, I fellI never thought I’d get kicked by your sweet talkin’ liesYou got a bag of tricksAnd when you got busy, I got dazzled and dizzyI fell like a ton of bricksMy knees are weak, my head is spinning aroundI guess that love has turned me upside downBut I get hurt, well gee it’s turning out swellI slipped, I stumbled, I fellI never thought I’d get kicked by your sweet talkin’ liesYou got a bag of tricksAnd when you got busy, I got dazzled and dizzyI fell like a ton of bricksMy knees are weak, my head is spinning aroundI guess that love has turned me upside downThought I’d get hurt, well gee it’s turning out swellI slipped, I stumbled, I fellI slipped, I stumbled, I fell
