Song title: A love so fine
(The Chiffons)
A love so fine - 04-Oct / 19-Oct 1974 version
Well there's angels out on your fire-escape[1]
They line them up for you trying to keep you safe
But with them fire alley burglars on a midnight vamp
You lost your heart on Main Street to a beautiful tramp
You lost your mind
Ohhhhhh just one more time
You have a love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
The rat's traps are filled with soul crusaders[2]
Everybodys's popping and hopping and jumping
At Little Melvin and The Invaders
You're out on the floor and you can't get up
Your baby's out there dancing that Continental Strut
She looks so good, she blows your mind
You've got a love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
Everybody's reeling when the band hits the ceiling
Don't you know you wanna go
The joint get's rockin', your knees start knockin'
Everybody party, go
Let's go
The bar's closed down, it's time to go home
You walk to the shady side of town all alone
Papa's screamin' at ya, he wants some cash
Mama's chewin' your ear off at about hanging out with trash
You don't mind, bet you don't mind
You've got a love so fine
A love so fine
You've got a love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
Hey hey hey
Whoa whoa
Hey hey hey
Lada da lada da
Lada da lada da
Hey hey hey
Whoa
Whoa
Lada da lada da
Lada da lada da
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
hey hey hey
Whoa
Thats alright, you don't mind
You've got a love so fine
You've got a love so fine
You've got a love so fine
You've got a love so fine

A love so fine - 29-Oct / 19-Nov 1974 version
Well there's sparklin' angels on your fire-escape tonight[1]
They line them up for you trying to keep you safe
But with them fire alley burglars on a midnight vamp
You lost your heart on Main Street to a beautiful tramp
That's all right, I don't mind
'Cause I got a love so fine
A love so fine, me and my baby
A love so fine, me and my baby
A love so fine
The rat's traps are filled with soul crusaders[2]
Everybody's popping and hopping and jumping
At Little Melvin and The Invaders
You're out on the floor and you can't get up
Your baby's out there dancing and struttin' that Continental Strut
She looks so good, she looks so fine
Oh we got a love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
Everybody's reeling when the band hits the ceiling
Don't you know you just wanna go
The joint starts rockin', your knees start knockin'
Everybody party, go
Let's go
The bar's closed down its time to go home
You walk to the dirty side of town all alone
Papa's screaming at you, he wants some cash
Mama's chewing you off about hanging out with alley trash
That's all right, oh you don't mind
'Cause you've got a love so fine, oh me and my baby
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
