NEEDLES AND PINS
I saw her today, I saw her face,
It was the face I love and I knew:
I had to run away-ay-ay
And get down on my knees and pray-ay-ay
That they go away
But still it begins-a, needles and pins-a,
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide.
Hey, I thought I was smart, I've won her heart,
Didn't think I'd do, but now I see
She's worse to him than me
Let her go ahead, take his love instead
And one day she will see
Just how to say please and get down on her knees
Yeah, that's how it begins-a,
she'll feel those needles and pins-a,
Hurt now, hurt now
SWEETS FOR MY SWEET
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrills me so.
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go.
If you've wanted that stars will shine so brightly
To make such stardust in your ey-eyes.
Darling, - I will chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the sky-y-y. And I will bring
LOVE POTION NUMBER NINE
I took my troubles down to Madam Ruth,
You know that gipsy with the gold-capped tooth.
She's got a pad down at thirty fourth and vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine.
I told her that I was a flop with chicks.
I've been this way since nineteen-fiftysix.
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign.
And said: What you need is Love Potion Number Nine!
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said: I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink.
It smelled like terpentine and looked like Indian ink.
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink.
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' ev'rything in sight.
But when I kissed the cop down at thirty-fourth and vine,
He broke my little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine.
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink.
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' ev'rything in sight.
But when I kissed the cop down at thirty-fourth and vine,
He broke my little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine.
Love Potion Number Ni-i-ine.
Love Potion Number Ni-i-i-i-ine.
Love Potion Number Ni-i-i-i-ine.
