Tams - Hey Girl Don't Bother Me

Hey Girl Don't Bother Me
Stay away girl, go away come back another day
Hey Girl Don't Bother Me

I heard about you from my friends
What really gets so long
They say you broke the heart
Of every boy in town

They say you like to cheat
They say you're just a little flirt
And if I fall for you
I'm surely gonna get hurt OK

Hey Girl Don't Bother Me
Stay out of my arms
Don't try to use your charms

But I really got to say
You look so fine
And you're also hard to resist
But I know i gotta stay away
'Cause I might fall for you
And I don't want to be added to your list OK

Hey Girl Don't Bother Me
Afraid if I kissed you, I might not resist you

Released in 1964, was a regional hit in the U.S before it topped the UK charts in 1971 thanks to the northern soul scene. Maybe the only one number one single connected to the northern. One of the Tams forgot his dance steps during Top Of The Pops. You can find some reggae covers of "Hey Girl Don't Bother Me" on youtube.

Michael and Raymond - Man Without A Woman


* RCA 47-9244, "Man Without A Woman" / "Walking The Dog" (1967)

A man has many things that he was due
Though he's got to find the time for lovin' too
Man wasn't made to leave all alone
He was made to have some children and a home

Man Without A Woman is like a flower without rain
Man Without A Woman relief is like in vain

So withdraw without love, you'd better look around
'Cause there are many girls who wish they could be find

A man has many things that he was due
Though he's got to find the time for lovin' too
Man wasn't made to leave all alone
He was made to have some children and a home

Clydie King - Soft And Gentle Ways


* Imperial 66172, "He Always Comes Back To Me" / "Soft And Gentle Ways" (1966)

Don't use your gentle ways to make me do the things I know I shouldn't do
Don't use your gentle ways to make me think the lies you're telling me are true
When you whisper gently to me you know how the suffer makes me feel
But I've heard about that before and baby I know your love just unreal

Don't use your burning kiss to start a fire in me I know I can't control
Don't use your misty eyes cause I won't fall again I've seen those tears before
But if you can prove me at all the love you have to offer me is true
I would gladly give in to the love and soft and gentle ways of you

Don't think your gentle ways can just erase the feelin' I have of loving you
Those soft spoken words are empty sounds there's nothing you can do
But if you can prove me at all the love you have to offer me is true
I would gladly give in to the love and soft and gentle ways of you

Don't use your gentle ways, Don't use your gentle ways...

Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Get Out (And Let Me Cry)





Landa, 703 - "Get Out (And Let Me Cry)" / "You May Not Love Me" (1965) Lead Vocal By John Atkins

Just hung up the telephone
I've heard a lot about you
Your new boyfriend couldn't wait to tell me huh
That you and I are through
Don't try to spin my feelings...

Just Get Out (And Let Me Cry)

I give my best to you
What I am supposed to do
Don't stand here and look silly...

Just Get Out (And Let Me Cryyyyyyyyy)

If what he said is true
I own (allow) all the best for you
Couldn't look just to see me cry so...

Just Get Out (And Let Me Cry)

I don't know where or when
I know I love her again
This must be hard for you
So I'll tell you what you'd better do
You'd better Get Out (& Let Me Cry)

Velvet Hammer - Happy


Soozi 112 "Happy" / "Party Hardy" (1977)


I call her Happy
She makes me feel that way when I come home at night
She puts her arms around me, she kisses and hugs me makes everything allright

And everynight in my room
I can smell her sweet perfume
And it's happy, Happy All My Life

I call her Joy
'cause she travels through the world of a lonely boy
Joy everynight 'cause she knows how to squeeze me and make me feel right

And everynight in my room
I can smell her sweet perfume
And it's joy, Joy all my life

I call her Pleasure
'cause the loving she's giving you, just can't measure
I call her sweetness 'cause when I look at her eyes I can see my weakness

And everynight in my room
I can smell her sweet perfume
It's pleasure, pleasure all my life

She really makes me happy
in the evening

with the pleasure
that you give me
make me happy
Happy in my life
Joy in the world

Sweet of the Sweet
She's the pearl of the girl

Bob Relf - Blowing My Mind To Pieces


* Trans-American, 0010-B (1968)

You say that you leave me underneath baby don't need me
But baby you didn't have to do what you've done behind my back
With someone on you who holdin' a kissin'
Just the way we used to love
You say you realized the stretch you made
I keep trying to hear you baby

You're Just Blowin' My Mind To Pieces
(you just ruinin' my mind so more)
You Keep Blowin' My Mind To Pieces
(you got me hurt like never before)

Hey, you gotta stop baby, hanging up now

Girl, I'm gonna have to put you down
'Cause I'm so tired of being messed around
I've told you a long long time ago
You keep blowin' my mind
I'm gonna have to let you go
I give you everything that I have
You just woudn't let me be your man

Blowing My Mind To Pieces
(I've said I've gotta to get me out this place)
Blowing My Mind To Pieces
(I've said I've gotta to get me back in the rain)

Frankie Valli - You're Ready Now


Smash, 2037 - "You're Ready Now" / "Cry For Me" (1966)


When I met you, you were too young
To hang around where the groupies hung
To swing and dance where the swingers swung

You're Ready Now, You're Ready Now, You're Ready Now...

You grew up fast like over-night
You sure have changed, girl, you're out of sight
You wanna swing and dance all night

You pick up quick, I knew you would
You move and groove just the way you should
You've got that feel, you're learnin' good

Come on near me, come on baby
Do you hear me ? Yes I hear you

You've got it girl, you've got that talk
You've got that wiggle in the way you walk
You've got, I see, what gets to me

You're Ready Now, You're Ready Now, You're Ready Now...
