Lyrics:

Gotta black breast Chinese eyes

Got an English brain that's gonna make me wise

Got a long story that I wanna tell

To a rhythm that I know so well

Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give

Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live

I tried another but she didn't want to know

Aaaah --- no, no, no!

Take a hold now if you can

Take a lesson from a hard lovin' man

I'm a long way from where I wanna go

Guess I'll stay awhile I really love you so

How's about another sip of all the wine you got

Take a tip from me and give it here I'll drink the lot

I'm not a winey, I'm a puttin' on a show

Aaaah --- no, no, no!

You really really grab me but I've gotta move

Before they know I'm here and spread the news

Maybe in a while when I've moved around

I can find a way to pay you back your twenty pounds

Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give

Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live

I tried another but she didn't want to know

Aaaah --- no, no, no!
