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
