I'm in love I'm all shook up Mm mm, yeah, yeah, yeah [Bridge] Well, please don't ask me what's on my mind I'm a little mixed up, but I'm feeling fine When I'm near the girl that I love best My heart beats so it scares me to death [Verse 3] When she touched my hand, what a chill I got Her lips are like a volcano that's hot I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup I'm in love (Unh) I'm all shook up Mm mm, yeah, yeah, yeah Mm mm, yeah, yeah I'm all shook up [Part V: Are You Lonesome Tonight?] [Intro] Yeah, whoa [Verse] Are you lonesome tonight? Do you miss me tonight? Are you sorry we drifted apart? Does your memory stray To a bright summer day When you kissed me and called me sweetheart? Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there? Is your heart filled with pain Shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? [Part VI: My Baby Left Me (Reprise)] [Verse 1] Yes my baby left me Never said a word Was it something I done Something that she heard? [Chorus] My baby left me My baby left me My baby even left me Never said a word [Outro: Phil Ochs, Musicians and crew, Audience] Power! Electricity. Power in the amp here? Power in the guitar please. Who's in charge of power? Do it in the guitar please.  More! I want to do more, give me the guitar please. Hey, hey Carnegie Hall, give me the power in the guitar, please, all right? Find it for you. Look, this is, this is such bullshit. They cut the microphone. Can you hear me? Testing. Look, I'm telling you man, I'm telling you. There's nothing we can do, we're only - no problem Can you hear me? Yes. Carnegie Hall shut the power. Say "That's bullshit." That's bullshit! "We want power." We want power! Can you hear me? Give me the power.  We want power! We want power! We want power! We want power! We want power! We want power! The power's on. We got the power. Kenny! Get your bass, Kenny.
