STRANGE HOW LOVE CAN BE
Tuner / Dixon / Gunn

as rec by Shirley Bassey w Johnnie Spence & his Orch  1964


Strange how love can be sad
When I should be mad at you, but no!
Though you say I am just a fool,
A fool who gave her heart to you!

And, strange how love can be bad,
Yes, it can be bad when love's untrue!
I gave to you all the love a heart
Could give right from the start,
But love has had its laugh on me!

So love go away, I hate you!
Stay away, don't wait to
Torture me,
Set me free!
Please - pity me!

Strange how love can be cold,
When I long to hold you close to me!
You smile, then just turn and look away;
If only you would say
You want me!

Strange how love makes you cry;
When it passes by,
What can I do?

Should I try to run away from you?
Run back into the arms
Of someone who is true?
Who cares!

Would he take my hand?
Would he understand?
Or would he smile and then look away,
Saying, "Strange love, goodbye!"?

Should I try to run away from you?
Run back into the arms
Of someone who is true?
Who cares!

Would he take my hand,
Or would he understand?
Or would he smile and then look away,
Saying, "Strange love, goodbye!"?
