Clovers Love Potion No Nine Lyrics

Love Potion No Nine 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 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



------ guitar solo ------



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
