In the cool of the evening and everything is gettin' kind of groovy
I call you up and ask you if you’d like to go with me and see a movie
And first you say, "no", you’ve got some plans for tonight
And then you stop and say, "all right"
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little girl like you

You always keep me guessin'
I never seem to know what you are thinkin'
And if a fellow looks at you
Then it’s for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
I get confused 'cause I don’t know where I stand

And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little girl like you
A spooky, hey, hey

[guitar solo]

If you decide you’d better stop this little game that you are playin'
I’m gonna tell you all the things my heart’s been a-dyin' to be sayin'
And just like a ghost, you’ve been a-hauntin' my dreams
So I’ll propose, on Halloween
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little girl like you
A spooky, hey, hey
O-oh, oh, all right
A spooky, yeah
I said a spooky
Oh, oh
I said a spooky
