"Love is Strange"
is a crossover hit by American rhythm and blues duet Mickey & Sylvia, which
was released in late November 1956 by the Groove record label.
The song was based on a
guitar riff by Jody Williams. The song was written by Bo Diddley under the name
of his wife at the time, Ethel Smith, and was recorded by Bo and Buddy Holly,
among others. The
guitar riff was also used by Dave "Baby" Cortez in his 1962
instrumental song "Rinky Dink", also credited to Diddley.
Love
Love is strange
Lot of people
Take it for a game
Once you get it
You never wanna quit
After you've had it
You're in an awful fix
Many people
Don't understand
They think loving
Is money in the hand?
Your sweet loving
Is better than a kiss
When you leave me
Sweet kisses I miss
Sylvia
Yes, Mickey
How do you call your lover boy?
Come here, lover boy
And if he doesn't answer
Oh lover boy
And if he still doesn't answer
I simply say
Baby, oh baby
My sweet baby, you're the one
Baby, oh baby
My sweet baby, you're the one.
