Love Potion No. 9

Love Potion Number 9 - The Ohio Express

Written by：Leiber/Stoller/Rr

I took my troubles down to madame ruth

You know that gypsy with the gold capped tooth

She's got a pad down on thirty fourth and vine

Sellin' little bottles of love potion number nine

I told her that I was a flop with chics

I've been this way since 1956

She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign

She 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 turpentine it 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' everything in sight

But when I kissed a cop down on thirty fourth and vine

He broke my little bottle 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' everything in sight

But when I kissed a cop down on thirty fourth and vine

He broke my little bottle of love potion number nine

Love potion number nine

Love potion number nine

Love potion number nine

Love potion number nine
