One of a kind love affair is The kind of love that you read about in a fairy tale Like the sun that shines on a rainy day, its a cloud of love One of a kind love affair is When your down is up, when your up is down But love stays around And when you know you're right, but you got to make a little sacrifice You make it for love Who-oh-oh-oh, yeah I never thought about today would come When she would leave without good-bye, yes, sir. She wrote a line or two upon the wall Said, I'm leaving you, know I love you too I can't stay with you And this very day, I could never say a discouraging word 'Cause I love you Who-oh-oh-oh, yes, siree, now (One of a kind) love affair is When you hate to say girl I told you so, but you gotta go There won't be a fight, 'cause your love is right But you're leaving wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong (One of a kind) ooh (love affair is) Ooh yeah When you treat her nice but you finally have to pay the price And though you know you're right But you got to make a little sacrifice You make it for love You make it for love Yeah-heh-heh-heh One of a kind love affair is Makes you want to love her, you just have to hurt her, yeah One of a kind, one of a kind, love affair is Makes a lame man walk, makes a blind man talk about seein' again (One of a kind) ooh-oh (love affair is) my-hy It makes you me want to be around ya, Ah, girl, I'm glad I found you (One of a kind) wooh-ee, baby (love affair is) I want to tell you now Every day is sunshine, girl, you're on my mind One of a kind, one of a kind love affair is Makes me want to, want to be with you
