u Still Mean The Same To Me

Oh, I was sweet and gentle
(He was sweet and gentle)
Kind of sentimental
(Kind of sentimental)

No one will deny it
(No one will deny it)
I was once so quiet

And then the magic night
I learned to do the Cha Cha
(Cha cha cha cha)
And now I'll never be the same

For I have turned into
A dancing cucaracha
(Cha cha cha cha)
And my muchacha is to blame

How can I be gentle
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

(Cha cha cha cha cha cha)
(Cha cha cha cha cha cha)

I was sweet and gentle
(He was sweet and gentle)
Kind of sentimental
(Kind of sentimental)

No one will deny it
(No one will deny it)
I was once so quiet

And then one magic night
I learned to do the Cha Cha
(Cha cha cha cha)
And now I'll never be the same

For I have turned into
A dancing cucaracha
(Cha cha cha cha)
And my muchacha is to blame

Please be sweet and gentle
(Please be sweet and gentle)
Treat me sentimental
(Treat him sentimental)

For I'm tempermental
(Cha cha cha cha)
When I Cha Cha with you

(Cha cha cha, cha cha cha)
(Cha cha cha, uh)
