When I see her comin' down the street
I get so shaky and I feel so weak
I tell my eyes look the other way
But they don’t seem to hear a word I say
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by I tell my arms they’ll hold someone new
Another love that will be true
But they don’t listen, they don’t seem to care
They reach for her but she’s not there
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by I remember what she said when she said
«Goodbye baby. We’ll meet again soon maybe»
«But until we do, all my best to you»
I’m so lonely, I think about her only
I go to places we used to go But I know she’ll never show
She hurt me so much inside
Now I hope she’s satisfied
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by Go to pieces and I cry
Everytime my baby passes by Go to pieces and I cry
This song was written for peter and Gordon by the great Dell Shannon who wrote many he even sings it. Sadly dell took his life several years ago, he was such a great talent and a great individual, Rip Dell, May GOD forgive you any sins and bring you to everlasting life.
When I was 15 or so, I'd turn the volume way up when I played this vinyl on my portable stereo... and my mom would yell at me from downstairs to turn my music down. After a few times of that, I'd wait to play this song when mom was out of the house, and I'd bounce the sound vibrations of this song off my bedroom walls. The 1960s were a great time to live until I was sent to Vietnam... it was then that I grew up in a hurry...!!!
This song was released during one of the most incredible periods of music play in the history of radio ... just jewel after diamond, blowing up the air waves.What an incredible time ...
