The “Love Is Strange” Chalypso
Ethel Smith, Mickey Baker, Sylvia Robinson
[Verse 1]
Love (mm-mm), love is strange, (yay-yay)
Lot of people (mm-mm) take it for a game
Once you get it (mm-mm) you never wanna quit (no, no)
After you've had it (yay-yay), you're in an awful fix
[Verse 2]
Many people (mm-mm) don't understand (yay-yay)
They think lovin' (yay-yay) money in the hand
Your sweet lovin' (mm-mm) is better than a kiss (yay-yay)
When you leave me (mm-mm) sweet kisses I miss
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Oh, Dinah?
Yes, Presley
How do you call your loverboy?
"Come 'ere, loverboy"
And if he doesn't answer?
I say, "You got what it takes"
And if he still doesn't answer?
I simply say
"Baby, oh, baby
My sweet baby
You're the one"
[Outro]
Baby (mm-mm), oh, baby (yay-yay)
My sweet baby (mm-mm), you're the one
