Lyrics

I bought a stick of candy
from Uncle Kojak's
I've waited on the corner
for you to come back

ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
where all my loving grows
ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
where loving overflows

I thought of all the good things
that've happened in fun
until a cloud upset me
and shut out some sun

ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
where all my loving grows
ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
where loving overflows

oohahoooh
doop doop be roop doop
oohahoooh
doop doop be roop doop

ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
where all my loving grows

I  felt the rain of winter
in '72
I thought about the summer
and thought about you

ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
where all my loving grows
ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
where loving overflows

ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
where all my loving grows

ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
ooh hooh
I've got a soft spot here in my heart
where all my loving grows
where loving overflows
where all my loving grows

Quotations and trivia

When signed to ask a 7" cover after the 2023-06-30 Luxembourg performance Stewart Copeland first waved the cover through the air and suggested to sing the song's chorus - which he did ! He signed the 7" cover with a smile on his face...

(he was proud to know the song by heart after "50 years" - but rest assured he had recently received a youtube link to make sure that it was really him on that record...)
