Sweet and Gentle

I was sweet and gentle
She 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 muchacho is to blame
How can I be gentle
Cha Cha, Cha Cha
Sweet and sentimental
Cha Cha, Cha Cha
While the Cha Cha's playing
Cha Cha, Cha Cha
And my heart is swaying
I find that I am even
Dancing when I'm walking
Cha Cha, Cha Cha
I'm haunted by that Cha Cha beat
I hear the rhythm start
Whenever we are talking
Cha Cha, Cha Cha
I do the Cha Cha in my sleep
Cha Cha Cha
Cha Cha Cha
Cha Cha Cha
Cha Cha Cha
Cha Cha Cha Cha
How can I be gentle
How can she be gentle
Sweet and sentimental
Sweet and sentimental
While the Cha Cha's playing
While the Cha Cha's playing
And my heart is swaying
I find that I am even
Dancing when I'm walking
Cha Cha, Cha Cha
I'm haunted by that Cha Cha beat
I hear the rhythm start
Whenever we are talking
Cha Cha, Cha Cha
I do the Cha Cha in my sleep
Please be sweet and gentle
Treat me sentimental
For I'm temperamental
When I Cha Cha with you
Cha Cha Cha
Cha Cha Cha
Cha Cha Cha Cha
