The Clovers — Love Potion Number 9

[Verse 1] 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 9 [Verse 2] 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 9" [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 9 [Bridge] I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink [Chorus] I didn't know if it was day or night I started kissin' everything in sight I had so much fun that I'm goin' back again I wonder what happened with love potion number 10 [Outro] Love Potion Number 9 Love Potion Number 9 Love Potion Number 9
