The original 45 RPM single was released on the independent Clock Records label but the LP which featured the single was released by RCA Victor by arrangement with Clock.

Cortez had another Top Ten hit in 1962 with "Rinky Dink".

Dave "Baby" Cortez Lyrics


Can Can't buy me love, love Can't buy me love I'll…
Can't Buy Me Love Can't buy me love, love Can't buy me love I'll…
Come See About Me I've been crying 'Cause I'm lonely (for you) Smiles have all…
Happy Organ The best things in life are free But you can keep…
How Sweet It Is How sweet it is to be loved by you How sweet…



I Turned You On I turned you on Now I can't turn you off I turned…
Peg Leg peg leg! everyone's doing it like they should one leg down…
Where Did Our Love Go ? Baby, baby, baby don't leave me. Ooh, please don't leave me…
You Talk Too Much You talk too much, you worry me to death, You talk…
