Momma's little baby's gone bad From her lips down to her shoes She's gone and sold up everything she had Bought a ticket to the blues There was silence when she left here I remember not a tear that fell Now we cry like little children On a broken down carousel Ain't love the strangest thing They say that lovers have their secrets That no on else can hear Sometimes a whispered heart beat And sometimes they disappear Ain't love the strangest thing It picks you up And brings you down It's a miracle Goes round and round It makes you laugh It makes you cry From black and blue You wonder why Oh I been wonderin' As the night goes beggin' Baby, can't you hear my plea? Oh I've been thinkin' about it Before the night is over Baby, you'll lyin' here next to me Secret vows and deception In every lousy hotel room And in the face of every stranger You're seeing someone that you knew Ain't love the strangest thing
