Am I in love?
[jr]
Am I in love?
[both]
Well I really wish I knew!

[bh]
All I know is I wanna sigh,
When you're standin' near I get a Humpty Dumpty feelin'!
All I know is I wanna sigh
Like I've never sighed before!

[both]
Now when you're in love, they say you can tell,
You're sick in the heart and you never get well!
Oh maybe they're right, I wish that I knew
Why I feel the way I do!

[jr]
Am I on love?
[bh]
Am I in love?
[jr]
Well I leave it up to you!
[bh]
Rrrrrow!

[jr]
All I know is I wanna dance,
When I look at you I get a tippy-tappy feelin!
All I know is I wanna dance
Like I've never danced before!

[both]
My head's in a whirl, my heart's in a spin,
And if I'm in love I love what I'm in!
I don't know why I'm feelin' this way,
But the feelin' feels okay!

[jr]
Am I in love?
[bh]
Am I in love?
[both]
Well I really couldn't say!

All I know is I wanna sing;
You smile at me, I get a kinda ping-pong ding-dong, a dizzy feelin'!
All I know is I wanna sing
Like I've never sung before!

[bh]
My head's in a whirl,
[jr]
My heart's in a spin,
[bh]
If I'm in love,
[both]
Love what I'm in!
[bh]
I don't know why I'm feelin' this way,
[both]
But the feelin', the feelin' feels okay!

Now when you're in love, they say you can tell,
You're sick in the heart and you never get well!
So maybe that's why I'm feelin' this way,
[bh]
'Cause my heart does the bumps
And the temperature jumps!
[jr]
Yes, my hair gets blue
When I'm thinkin' of you!
[both]
But the feelin', the feelin' feels okay,
(scat)
Miracles agin them,
The feelin' feels okay!
