Marie christine:
To find a lover
I have something you must use
I call it: "come to me" powder
Works on any man you choose
Sprinkle it on your handkerchief
Bring it close to his face and puff;
He will plead for your love,
He will take all you give.
He will never get enough.
He will never get enough...
To lose a lover
I have something you must eat.
I call it "get-away biscuit"
And its taste is bittersweet.
Swallow it whole a suppertime
With a sip of ginger beer;
By six on the clock on saint agatha's eve
Your lover will disappear
Your lover will disappear...
What can make the strongest spirit bend?
What can make the weakest spirit strong?
What can fill the day with all the mysteries of night?
What is it we need as much as water air and light?
Oh, you know
Oh yes you know.
To keep a lover
I have something you must wear.
I call it "stay-with-me ribbon"
But it's not for your hair.
Use it to measure his petit prince;
Mark the ribbon, tie it in a knot.
Wear it 'round your neck
'til the day that you die
You will keep the love you've got.
You will keep the love you've got...
