Neil Diamond - Love Potion #9 lyrics

I took my troubles down to madame Ruth

You know that gypsy with the gold cap tooth

She's got a pad down at thirty-fourth and vine

Sellin' little bottles of love potion number nine

I told her that I was a flop with chicks

I been this way since nineteen fiftysix

She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign

She said "Watcha 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 and 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 kissing everything in sight

But when I kissed a cop down at thirtyfourth and vine

he broke my little bottle of 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 and looked like India ink

I held my nose and closed my eyes

I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night

I started kissing everything in sight

But when I kissed a cop down at thirtyfourth 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
