Nothin’ Shakin’ [But the Leaves on the Trees]

Well, ever since the day that you left me

I been whinin' like a little lost pup

The sun went down when you left town

And you ain't a gonna come back up

A walkin' in a wearin' out leather

A scuffin' up the hardwood floor

Starin' at the phone since you've been gone

And listenin' for the knock on the door

There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

And they wouldn't shake if it wasn't for the breeze

There ain't nothin' happenin' with the birds and the bees

There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves

Hurt keeps a lookin' through my window

The heartaches are laughin' in the hall

And I've got the news that old man blues

Is a seepin' through the cracks in the wall

The end is a waitin' round the corner

And hope is just about gone

If you only knew how I needed you

Well, then you'd come a running back home

There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

And they wouldn't shake if it wasn't for the breeze

There ain't nothin' happenin' with the birds and the bees

There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves

Well, there ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees

And they wouldn't shake if it wasn't for the breeze

There ain't nothin' happenin' with the birds and the bees

There ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves

No, there ain't nothin' shakin' but the leaves...
