Sweet and Gentle

Sweet and Gentle - Eartha Kitt

Composed by：Gordon Thom/Olando Portal

I was sweet and gentle

Kind of sentimental

No one will deny it

I was once so quiet

And then one magic night I learned to do the mambo

And now I'll never be the same

For I have really heard a crazy Latin combo

And my muchacho is to blame

How can I be gentle

Sweet and sentimental

While the music's playing

And my heart is swaying

I find that I am even dancing when I'm walking

I'm haunted by that latin beat

I hear the rhythm start whenever we are talking

I do the mambo in my sleep

Please be sweet and gentle

Treat me sentimental

For I'm temperamental

When I'm doing the mambo with you
