In memoriam to singer/songwriter Don Ciccone and The Critters, this week’s Featured Lyrics are to “Younger Girl”, written by John Sebastien, and made most famous by the Lovin’ Spoonful. We’re posting lyrics of hit songs so that our songwriters can study them to see how winning songs are constructed. Of course a lot depends on the melody, the rhythm and the artist as to whether or not the song will sell… and whether or not it is in the right place at the right time!
Lyrics to “Younger Girl”
She’s one of those girls who seems to come in the Spring
One look in her eyes and you’ll forget everything
You have ready to say
And I saw her today, yeah
A younger girl keeps a-rollin’ ‘cross my mind
No matter how much I try
I can’t seem to leave her memory behind
I remember her eyes, soft dark and brown
Said she’d never been in trouble, or even in town
A younger girl keeps a-rollin’ ‘cross my mind
A younger girl keeps a-rollin’ ‘cross my mind
And should I hang around, actin’ like her brother
In a few more years, they’d call us right for each other
But why
If I wait I’ll just die, yeah
A younger girl keeps a-rollin’ ‘cross my mind
No matter how much I try
I can’t seem to leave her memory behind
I remember her eyes, soft dark and brown
Said she’d never been in trouble, or even in town
A younger girl keeps a-rollin’ ‘cross my mind
She’s one of those girls who seems to come in the Spring
One look in her eyes and you’ll forget everything
She’s one of those girls who seems to come in the Spring
One look in her eyes and you’ll forget everything
