love bug
Down in pines where the fireflies glow,
There’s a southern belle everybody knows.
Sweetest smile, soft as Magnolia wine,
Skin like sunshine, a sugar so fine.
But the world’s been a little unkind,
Every critter’s tried to steal her shine.
She’s been bit by the skeeters and stung by the bees,
Chased through the briars, got scars on her knees.
But the one bite she can’t deny,
Is that love bug hittin’ her up late tonight.
Yeah, that love bug hittin’ her up late tonight.
She laughs like honey, warm and slow,
With every step, the roses grow.
Hearts turn south when she walks by,
But she’s been waiting on the sweetest bite.
Darlin’, I’ll be that one surprise,
Catch her heart with a bite that’s kind.
She’s been bit by the skeeters and stung by the bees,
Chased through the briars, got scars on her knees.
But the one bite she can’t deny,
Is that love bug hittin’ her up late tonight.
Yeah, that love bug hittin’ her up late tonight.
Baby, let me be the first to sting,
Not with hurt but a diamond ring.
Every bite before was just a try,
Now love’s the one that’ll never die.
She’s my sugar, my sweet, my southern high,
With her hand in mine, I’m the lucky guy.
Through every storm, we’ll ride or fly—
She my bride or die.
Yeah, she my bride or die.
