Love Potion Number Nine

[Intro] [Verse 1] Down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine Where the neon barely shines Walked into a place so dim and low Found a gypsy, face like stone Told her 'bout my lonely throne Said, "Child, I know just where you need to go" [Verse 2] She looked deep into my eyes Saw the tears I couldn't hide Mixed a brew inside a dusty flask "Drink this down," her voice was thin "Let the magic work within" Took a sip, a bitter, b*****g task [Chorus] Love Potion Number Nine Promised love so sweet and fine But all it brewed was this ache inside of me Love Potion Number Nine Turned this hopeful heart of mine To taste the salt of a lonely, endless sea [Verse 3] Wandered out into the night Feeling strange, no end in sight Saw a face, thought I'd give it a try Reached out slow, my hand so weak Couldn't even make her speak Just watched her turn and quickly hurry by [Bridge] The magic turned, a cruel jest Instead of love, a hollow chest The potion's kiss was just a slow goodbye Bottled hope turned into rust Leaving only broken trust And questions whispered to an empty sky [Chorus] Love Potion Number Nine Promised love so sweet and fine But all it brewed was this ache inside of me Love Potion Number Nine Turned this hopeful heart of mine To taste the salt of a lonely, endless sea [Outro]
