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 derranged 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 facts

once i had a strange love
a public acclaimed love,
the kind of love that's seen in magazines.

and once i had a strange love,
a beautiful but vained 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 kinky 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, and c'est la vie...

but just let me proclaim that, out of all the strange love you're the strangest love i've ever known....
