Lyrics :
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 chicks
I'd 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 India 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
Lyrics :
I saw her today, I saw her face
It was a face I loved and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away
And still it begins, needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I've got to hide
Oh, I thought I was smart
I'll hold her heart
Didn't think I'd do
But now I see
She's worse to him than me
Let her go ahead, and 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
She’ll feel those needles and pins
I know, I know
Why can't I stop and tell myself
I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up
And tell myself I'm strong?
Because I saw her today, I saw her face
It was a face I loved and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away
And still it begins, needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I've got to hide
Oh, like needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
They reminds me the angry young men energy used Music and angry look in protest against wars verging by the tension between the cold war and hegemony of the two super-power USA and Soviet Union!
