Love Is Strange Lyrics
Love, love is strange
Lot of people take it for a game
Once you get it, you never wanna quit (no, no)
After you've had it (yeah, yeah), you're in an awful fix
Many people don't understand (no, no)
They think loving (yeah yeah) is money in the hand
Your sweet loving is better than a kiss (yeah, yeah)

I simply say
Baby
Ohh baby
My sweet baby
You're the one
Baby
Ohh baby
My sweet baby
You're the one
