The Crush

Steve Earle


(Steve Earle's version) 
The first time I laid eyes on you 
I checked myself right out of this world 
One thing will bring me back from this heart attack 
And that's your sweet lovin', girl 

Ooh, your huggin' and kissin' 
Mmm, made my lights come on 
You put the crush on me 
Little girl, can't you see I'm gone 

And now I ain't gonna listen to reason 
There's no excuse for the way that I feel 
Before one word was spoke 
I knew it was no joke 
Baby, this love is real 

They say you gotta take time to know her 
But I can't wait that long 
You put the crush on me 
Little girl, can't you see I'm gone 

You put the crush, crush 
My mouth turns to mush 
I can't begin to speak of all of your charms 
You put the crush, crush 
Ooh, what a rush 
Now, I can't be satisfied until I'm wrapped up in your arms 

Ain't that some kind of love, babe 
You know I'm not puttin' you on 
You put the crush on me 
Little girl, can't you see I'm gone 

You put the crush, crush 
My mouth turns to mush 
I can't begin to speak of all of your charms 
You put the crush, crush 
Ooh, what a rush 
Now, I can't be satisfied until I'm wrapped up in your arms 

Ain't that some kind of love, babe 
You know I'm not puttin' you on 
You put the crush on me 
Little girl, can't you see I'm gone
