Strange Attraction -The Cure
Written by :Perry Bamonte/Jason Cooper/Simon Gallup/Roger ODonnell/Robert Smith
It started with a dedication
Lost in admiration happy birthday Im forever yours blossom
Faded red inside a tiny book of butterflies
I smiled surprised at how when flickered through
The wings flew by spelled out my name
Six months went by the Summer lost
Obsessively the letters dropped into my life
The same soft blood smooth flowing hand
Please try to understand I have to see you have
To feel you
Tell you all the ways I need you yours forever in love
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
The year grew old incessantly
She wrote to me shed started smoking poetry
I laughed in recognition of a favorite phrase
Shed pulled me in
I answered her
A christmas card in sepia
Arranging when and where
And how the two of us should meet meet
Her opening so well prepared
A nervous smile
I couldnt take my eyes from her she whispered
Can I use some of your lipstick
It was perfect so believable
I couldnt help but feel that it was real
And kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And altersbut the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
So alone into the cold new year without another word from her
I wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again
Before the spring
But weeks went by with no reply
Until once more my birthday came
And with it my surprise but this time nothing was the same
Im sorry blame infatuation blame imagination
I was sure youd be the one but I was wrong
It seems reality destroys our dreams I wont forget you blossom
Faded red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
And you never know
And you never know
And you never know know
