[Verse 1]
As the couples go paradin' by on a Sunday stroll
All their talk about what makes lovers isn't like it's told
‘Cause they don’t match up like-a salt and pepper
And birds of a feather hardly ever flock together
Opposites attract, and love becomes a fact forever

[Verse 2]
What made Priscilla Millionaira
Fall in love with Big House Taylor?
It was love, he was broke
And her folks didn’t dig it, what is it?
Then let them know
They wasn’t doin' nothin' wrong?

[Chorus]
I don’t know what it is
But it sure is somethin' strong

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Two peas in a pod one day
So alike, they had a-nothin' to say
So, the pod, he ran off and fell in love
With a string bean, how could he?
Well, let him know
He wasn’t doin' nothin' wrong?
[Chorus]
I don’t know what it is
But it sure is somethin' strong
I don’t know what it is
But it sure is somethin' strong
I don’t know what it is
But it sure is somethin' strong
No, I don’t know what it is
But it sure is somethin' strong
Well, I don’t know what it is
But it sure is somethin' strong
I don’t know what it is
But it sure is somethin' strong

[Outro]
Well, let me tell you now, man
I don’t know what it is
But it sure is somethin' strong
(I don’t know what it is)
(But it sure is somethin' strong)
