The five-brother singing group Tavares may be best known for such up-tempo hits as the million-selling single "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel," "More Than a Woman," and "Whodunit," but they first came to national attention with the luscious ballad "Check It Out." Their crisp vocalizing and clean-cut, young-men-next-door image made them favorites on TV shows starring Johnny Carson, Mike Douglas, and Dick Clark's American Bandstand. In 1974, Tavares also had the first hit version (number one R&B) of "She's Gone" written by the then relative unknown duo of Daryl Hall and John Oates. Hall & Oates scored a number seven pop hit with the song in 1976. The Tavares brothers — Arthur Tavares, Ralph Vierra Tavares, Perry Lee Tavares, Antone Tavares, and Feliciano Tavares nicknamed "Pooch," "Tiny," "Chubby," and "Butch" — started the group in 1964 as Chubby and the Turnpikes in New Bedford, MA. Their grandparents taught them traditional Cape Verde folk songs, while their older brother John schooled them on doo wop singing.

The Ghost Of Love Lyrics

Tavares

The ghost of love keeps hauntin' me
Although you're gone, I can't get free
Just when I think (When I think) I'm over you (I'm over you)
The ghost of love says, "Peek-a-boo"
Peek-a-boo (Peek-a-boo), I see you (I see you)
May all your nights be full of fright and all your days be blue
Ooh...ooh...ooh...
You went away, I met this girl
Night and day she shared my world
Just when I thought I had forgot
That loving spell you weave so well
Suddenly that look comes on my face
And I start starin' way out of space
I know why the girl stopped comin' 'round
The ghost of love has done run her out of town
The ghost of love keeps hauntin' me
Although you're gone, I can't get free
Just when I think (When I think) I'm over you (I'm over you)
The ghost of love says, "Peek-a-boo"
Peek-a-boo (Peek-a-boo), I see you (I see you)
May all your nights be full of fright and all your days be blue
Ooh...ooh...ooh...
Your love has died, but mine won't rest
This feelin' for you is jumpin' in my chest
No one else can fill the bill
I'll wait for your return and pray that you will
'Round about the midnight hour
I start to feel your lovin' power
Right away I'm tossin' in my sleep
Daybreak finds me wrapped up in my sheets
The ghost of love (Ghost of love)
Is haunting me {Is haunting me} (Haunting me)
Ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...
The ghost of love (Ghost of love) keeps haunting me (Haunting me)
Although you're gone (Although you're gone), I can't get free (Can't get free)
Just when I think (When I think) I'm over you (I'm over you)
The ghost of love (Ghost of love) says, "Peek-a-boo"
The ghost of love (Ghost of love) keeps haunting me (Haunting me)
Although you're gone (Ghost of love), I can't get free
Just when I think (When I think) I'm over you (I'm over you)
The ghost of love (Ghost of love)
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh (The ghost of love)
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, woo (Keeps haunting me)
Ooh, woo
Peek-a-boo (Peek-a-boo), I see you (I see you)
May all your nights be full of fright
Peek-a-boo (Peek-a-boo), I see you (I see you)
And all your days be blue
The ghost of love {Ghost of love} (Ghost of love)
Is haunting me (Hauntin' me) {Haunting me} [Haunting me], oh...
Can't get no sleep, wrapped up in my sheets
Full Of fright every night
That lovin' spell
You weave so well
Peek-a-boo (Peek-a-boo), I see you (I see you)
May all your nights be full of fright
Peek-a-boo (Peek-a-boo), I see you (I see you)
And all your days be blue
The ghost of love {Ghost of love} (Ghost of love)
Is haunting me (Is haunting me) {Haunting me} [Haunting me] {Haunting me}, hey...
The ghost of love is hauntin' me
Although you're gone, I can't get free
Just when I think I'm over
The ghost of love says, "Peek-peek-a-boo"
Peek-a-boo (Peek-a-boo), I see you (I see you)
Peek-a-boo (Peek-a-boo), I see you (I see you)
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
The ghost of love (Ghost of love)
Is haunting me (Haunting me) {Haunting me}
