about

Written by annA rydeR in October 1992

lyrics

Remember the time you asked me to dance
I said you must be mad
I thought you were old, I thought you were cold
I said your looks were bad

BUT LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IS A CURIOUS THING
OH, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IS A CURIOUS THING

You held out your hand, I took it in mine
I couldn't tell you why
It wasn't your face, it wasn't your looks
But something caught my eye

OH, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IS A CURIOUS THING
OH, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IS A CURIOUS THING

How could I see this was happening to me
There is no end without a starting
We just collided without remembering
We'll dance all the night without parting

I thought it no harm to be in your arms
Just for one dance
And I just couldn't say why I wanted to stay
But I just took the chance
I wasn't aware of the love that was there
It came slowly creeping
I didn't realise it lay in your eyes
And me off my feet was sweeping

WOH, LOVE ....

I tried to be rude, I tried to be crude
I didn't want to like you
I told you I thought that you weren't the sort
I'd like to say goodnight to

BUT LOVE ....
How could I see ...

And now without you I think about you
Time and time again
The moment you went, the hours I spent
They seemed to have no end
Now the dancing's all done, the songs are all sung
And we've grown apart
I'll see you again but I don't know when
Such a space is in my heart

WOH, LOVE

Love is a curious kind of a serious
Could it be a spurious sort of a thing
Oh love
