Once I had a strange love,
A mad sort of insane love,
A love so fast and fierce I thought i'd die
Yes once I had a strange love,
A pure but very pained love,
A love that burned like fire through a field
Oh once I had a strange love,
A childlike but deranged love,
A love that if were bottled it would kill.
See once I had a strange love,
A secret and untamed love,
A love that took no prisoners at all
And once I had a strange love
A psychic unexplained love,
A love that challenged scientific facts
And then there was that strange love,
That very badly trained love,
A love that needed discipline and fact
Once I had a strange love
A publicly acclaimed love,
The kind of love that's seen in magazines.
And once I had a strange love,
A beautiful but vain love,
A love I think it's better left in dreams
And once I had a strange love,
A morally inflamed love,
We'd go on holy battles in the nights
And then there was that strange love
That vulgar and profane love,
The kind of love that we don't talk about
Yes, once I had a strange love,
A lying infidel love,
Who wove in stories like Sherazade
And once I had a strange love,
A flaky white kiki love,
We ran so fast we almost spilled our guts.
You see i've had some strange love,
Some good, some bad, some plain love,
Some so-so love, so what?...and c'est la vie...
But just let me proclaim, love,
That, out of all the strange love
You're the strangest love I've ever known...
