Love Potion Number Nine lyrics

Artist  : Hansel Martinez 
Song : Love Potion Number Nine
 


I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You
know that gypsy with that gold tatoo*
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
1986*
She looked at my palm and she made a
magic sign
She said "What you need is Love
Potion Number Nine"

She bent down, turned
around and gave me a wink
She said "I'm gonna
mix 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

[Instrumental]

She bent down,
turned around and gave me a wink
She said "I'm
gonna mix 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

*This
could be "gold-capped tooth" as in the other
versions, but the way
Martinez sings it, it
really sounds more like "gold tatoo". Secondly,
he
has modernized the song so that it really
is "since 1986".
