Over and Over
Bobby Day Lyrics
Well, I went to a dance the other night
Everybody went stag
I said over and over and over again
This dance is gonna be a drag
I said over and over and over again
This dance is gonna be a drag
I said over and over and over again
This dance is gonna be a drag
All at once it happened
Please a-won't you come over and talk to me
And be my girl
I said won't you come over and talk to me
And be my girl
Please won't you come over and talk to me
And be my girl
She said that she was sorry
That I was a little bit late
She would wait and wait and wait and wait
For her steady date
She would a-wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
For her steady date
She would a-wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
For her steady date
Now, my poor heart was broken
All of my life, where had she been
But I'll try over and over and over
And over again
I'll try over and over
And over and over again
I will try over and over
And over and over again

Born Robert James Byrd in Fort Worth, Texas, he moved to Los Angeles, California at the age of fifteen. As a member of the R&B group, the Hollywood Flames, he used the stage name Bobby Day to perform and record. He went several years with minor musical success limited to the West Coast, including being the original "Bob" in the duo Bob & Earl. In 1957, Day formed his own band called the "Satellites" following which he authored three songs that are seen today as rock and roll classics.

I grew up thinking that The Dave Clark 5 wrote this song. Each one has its own tempo and beat. Like them both.

The Dave Clark Five did okay with this song, but Bobby Day's version which is the original just was so much bounce and feel.
Rowby Goren
I can't stop listening to this over and over and over and over again! Whoever produced this classic knew what they were doing. Every beat, every note, every bit of the lyrics is perfect ...Rowby.
