Dave Rosencran of KCMU in Seattle obtained the details from Screamin' Jay himself:
- "I never before had been constipated in my life and it didn't dawn on me until I was five hours on the stool in the hospital that nothin' was gonna happen. I had doctors give me enemas and still nothin' happened. I had tears in my eyes, and I noticed this beautiful roll of toilet paper and I took out a pencil and, at the bottom of the toilet paper, I started writin' the song backwards, from the bottom up. The more I rolled out the toilet paper, the more I got into the song. I wrote exactly as I felt, each movement, each sound, each pain..."

Lyrics
- Screamin' Jay Hawkins
-
- (Who do you love? Who do you love?)
- You! You! Nobody else but you
-
- (Do you really love me baby?)
- Like a rat loves cheese
- (Do you really love me baby?)
- Like the bird loves trees
- (Do you really love me baby?)
- Sure as clouds in the sky
- (Do you really love me baby?)
- Until the day that I die
- (Do you really love me baby?)
- My love is here to stay
- (Do you really love me baby?)
- I love you more every day
-
- I never never never never felt like this
- Love is a wonderful thing
- If you ever ever ever go away
- Baby I'm gonna [...]
- (Who do you love? Who do you love?)
- You! You! Nobody else but you
-
- (Do you really love me baby?)
- Like a dog loves bone
- (Do you really love me baby?)
- Like the fly loves home
- (Do you really love me baby?)
- From the day you [...]
- (Do you really love me baby?)
- Like the booze [...]
- (Do you really love me baby?)
- Yes I really love you
- (Do you really love me baby?)
- You can bet your life I do
- Do you really love me right now?
- Give me now
- Do you really love me baby
- (Shoo! Shoo shoo)
- Ah yeah, do you really really love me?
- Do you really really love?
- Do you really really love?
