Love
Love is strange
Lot of people
Take it for a game
Once you get it
You never wanna quit
After youve had it
Youre in an awful fix
Many people
Dont understand
They think loving
Is money in the hand
Your sweet loving
Is better than a kiss
When you leave me
Sweet kisses I miss
Sylvia
Yes, Mickey
How do you call your lover boy
Come here, lover boy
And if he doesnt answer
Oh lover boy
And if he still doesnt answer
I simply say
Baby, oh baby
My sweet baby, youre the one
Baby, oh baby
My sweet baby, youre the one
