Sweet and Gentle

Sweet And Gentle - Georgia Gibbs

Written by：Del Portal/Otilio

I was sweet and gentle

She was sweet and gentle

Kind of sentimental

Kind of sentimental

No one will deny it

No one will deny it

I was once so quiet

And then one magic night

I learned to do the cha cha

Cha cha cha cha

And now I'll never be the same

For I have turned into

A dancing cucaracha

Cha cha cha cha

And my muchacho is to blame

How can I be gentle

Cha cha cha cha

Sweet and sentimental

Cha cha cha cha

While the cha cha's playing

Cha cha cha cha

And my heart is swaying

I find that I am even

Dancing when I'm walking

Cha cha cha cha

I'm haunted by that cha cha beat

I hear the rhythm start

Whenever we are talking

Cha cha cha cha

I do the cha cha in my sleep

Cha cha cha

Cha cha cha

Cha cha cha

Cha cha cha

Cha cha cha

Cha cha cha

Cha cha cha cha cha

How can I be gentle

How can she be gentle

Sweet and sentimental

Sweet and sentimental

While the cha cha's playing

While the cha cha's playing

And my heart is swaying

I find that I am even

Dancing when I'm walking

Cha cha cha cha

I'm haunted by that cha cha beat

I hear the rhythm start

Whenever we are talking

Cha cha cha cha

I do the cha cha in my sleep

Please be sweet and gentle

Treat me sentimental

For I'm temperamental

When I cha cha with you

Cha cha cha

Cha cha cha

Cha cha cha cha
