Great Balls of Fire lyrics by Jerry Lee Lewis

 

Great Balls of Fire Song Lyrics


You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
[band joins]
I learned to love all of Hollywood money
You came along and you moved me honey
I changed my mind, looking fine
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
You kissed me baba, woo.....it feels good
Hold me baba, learn to let me love you like a lover should
Your fine, so kind
I'm a nervous world that your mine mine mine mine-ine
I cut my nails and I quiver my thumb
I'm really nervous but it sure is fun
Come on baba, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
[piano solo]
Well kiss me baba, woo-oooooo....it feels good
Hold me baba
I want to love you like a lover should
Your fine, so kind
I got this world that your mine mine mine mine-ine
I cut my nails and I quiver my thumb
I'm real nervous 'cause it sure is fun
Come on baba, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
[guitar solo]
[piano solo]
[guitar and piano jam]
I say goodness gracious great balls of fire...oooh..

"Great Balls of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis is a spirited and exuuberant rock and roll song that captures the essence of youthful passion and romantic excitement. The song's lyrics vividly express the electrifying and almost overwhelming feelings associated with love and attraction.

The opening lines, "You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain, Too much love drives a man inssane," set the tone for the song's high energy and excitement. The phrase "shake my nerves and rattle my brain" metaphorically describes the intense and exhilarating impact that love and attraction have on the narrator. The idea that "too much love drives a man insane" suggests that the power of these emotions can be both thrilling and overpowering.

Throughout the song, the narrator speaks of the transformative nature of love and attraction. Lines like "I learned to love all of Hollywood money, You came along and you moved me honey" indicate a change in priorities and perspective caused by the arrival of a significant other. This change is further emphasized by the words "I changed my mind, looking fine," showing that the narrator's attention and focus have shifted entirely towards the object of their affection.

The lyrics "Hold me baba, learn to let me love you like a lover should" highlight the desire for physical closeness and emotional intimacy. The repetitive emphasis on the narrator's nervousness and excitement ("I cut my nails and I quiver my thumb, I'm really nervous but it sure is fun") underscores the exhilarating yet unsettling feelings that often accompany passionate love.

Overall, "Great Balls of Fire" is a high-energy expression of the exhilaration and intensity of young love and desire. The song's catchy rhythm and dynamic performance contribute to its portrayal of love as a powerful and transformative force, capable of shaking one's very foundations.
