Lyrics
Well I was ruling the roost, had all the chicks to myself
And suddenly it happened, that funny little feeling I felt
Well I tried to outrun it, but it finally caught up with me
Tell me how can I run from something that I can’t see?
Oh that little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
Nobody’s ever seen it, but it’s got the whole world shook up
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug
It’s a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
Well I always thought that I had me a pretty good style
But I lost that race by a good old country mile
Well I was walking all around with my head held way up high
And it fooled me, hit me, really took me by surprise
Oh that little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
Nobody’s ever seen it, but it’s got the whole world shook up
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug
It’s a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
Oh that little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
Nobody’s ever seen it, but it’s got the whole world shook up
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug
It’s a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
It’s a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
