Once I had a strange love A mad sort of insane love A love so fast and fierce I'd 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 fact And then there was that strange love That very badly trained love A love that needed discipline in fact And once I had a strange love A publicly acclaimed love The kind of love as seen in magazines And once I had a strange love A beautiful but vain love A love, I think , that's better left in dreams
And once I had a strange love A moraly inflamed love We'd go on holy battles in the night And then there was that strange love That vulgar and profane love The konda love that we don't talk about Yes once i had a strange love A lying infdel love Who'd wovebn stories like Scheherazade And once I had a strange love A flaky white kiki love We ran so fastt 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 this strange love, Your the strangest love I've ever known
