Sweet and Gentle (Me Lo Dijo Adela) - Xavier Cugat (泽维尔库加特)/Merv Griffin
Lyrics by:George Thorn/Otilio Portal
Composed by:George Thorn/Otilio Portal
I was sweet and gentle
Kind of sentimental
No one will deny it
I was once so quiet
And then the 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
I was sweet and gentle
Kind of sentimental
No one will deny it
I was once so quiet
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
When we are talking
I do the cha cha in my sleep
Oh
Please be sweet and gentle
And treat me sentimental
For I'm tempermental
When I'm doing the cha cha with you
I was sweet and gentle
Kind of sentimental
No one will deny it
I was once so quiet
