Sweet And Gentle - Ben E

Sweet And Gentle - Ben E. King

Written by：Martin Ledyard/George Thorn/Otilio del Portal

I was sweet and gentle

Kind of sentimental

No one will deny it

I was once so quiet

And then one magic night

I learned to do the cha cha

And now I'll never be the same

For I have turned into a dancing Cucaracha

And my muchacha is to blame

How can I be gentle

Ohhhh sweet and sentimental

While the cha cha's playing

And my heart is swaying

I find that I am even dancing

When I'm walking

I'm haunted by that cha cha beat

I hear the rhythm start

Whenever we are talking

I do the cha cha in my sleep

Sweet and gentle cha cha cha

Sweet and gentle cha cha cha

Sweet and gentle cha cha cha cha

How can I be gentle

Ohhhh sweet and sentimental

While the cha cha's playing

And my heart is swaying

I find that I am even dancing

When I'm walking

I'm haunted by that cha cha beat

I hear the rhythm start

Whenever we are talking

I do the cha cha in my sleep

I do the cha cha in my sleep

I do the cha cha in my sleep

Cha cha cha
