  • Gotta black breast Chinese eyes
    Got an English brain that's gonna make me wise
    Got a long story that I wanna tell
    To a rhythm that I know so well
    Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give
    Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live
    I tried another but she didn't want to know

    Take a hold now if you can
    Take a lesson from a hard lovin' man
    I'm a long way from where I wanna go
    Guess I'll stay awhile I really love you so
    How's about another sip of all the wine you got
    Take a tip from me and give it here I'll drink the lot
    I'm not a winey, I'm a puttin' on a show

    You really grab me but I've gotta move
    Before they know I'm here and spread the news
    Maybe in while when I've moved around
    I can find a way to pay you back your twenty pounds
    Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give
    Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live
    I tried another but she didn't want to know Writer/s: IAN GILLAN, IAN PAICE, JON LORD, RITCHIE BLACKMORE, ROGER GLOVER
