One Of A Kind Lyrics
The Spinners
Lyrics
One of a kind love affair is
The kind of love that you read about in a fairy tale
Like the sun that shines on a rainy day, it's a cloud of love
One of a kind love affair is
When your down is up, when your up is down
But love stays around
And when you know you're right
But you got to make a little sacrifice
You make it for love, whoa, yeah
I never thought about the day would come
When she would leave without good-bye, yes sir
She wrote a line or two upon the wall
Said, I'm leaving you, know I love you too, I can't stay with you
Until this very day, I could never say a discouraging word
'Cause I love you whoa, yes siree, now
One of a kind love affair is
When you hate to say, "Girl, I told you so, but you gotta go"
There won't be a fight, 'cause your love is right
But you're leaving wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
One of a kind love affair is
When you treat her nice but you finally have to pay the price
And though you'd know you're right
But you got to make a little sacrifice
You make it for love, you make it for love, yeah
One of a kind love affair is
Makes you want to love her
You just got to hurt her, yeah
One of a kind love affair is
Makes a lame man walk
Makes a blind man talk about seein' again
One of a kind love affair is
It makes you me want to be around ya
Ah, girl, I'm glad I found you
One of a kind love affair is
I wanna tell you now every day is sunshine
Girl, you're on my mind
One of a kind love affair is
Makes me want to, want to be with you
One of a kind love affair is
