Ronettes (the) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woa-oh, woa-oh oh oh
Have I ever told you
How good it feels to hold you
It isn't easy to explian
And though I'm really trying
I think I may start crying
My heart can't wait another day
When you kiss me I've just got to say

(Baby I love you)
Come on baby
(Baby I love you)
Oh-ee baby
Baby I love only you

Woa-oh, woa-oh oh oh
I can't live without you
I love everything about you
I can't help it if I feel this way
Oh I'm so glad I found you
I want my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name
Oh tell me that you feel the same

(Baby I love you)
Come on baby
(Baby I love you)
Oh-ee baby
Baby I love only you





Woa-oh, woa-oh oh oh

@maxr4448

I heard this by accident today 02/12/22, streaming through local radio channels driving in my work truck to work this morning....I had to pull over. Into a local dealer of travel trailers, on Palm Beach in Ft. Myers. It was 04:47 am. This... song is everything to me. The words, the voices. My God.... I'm so glad I'm alive to hear this. I forget the GREATEST decade of music>'60's. Sorry all, but I'm 64 I was 5 or 6 when this was on the radio. I heard this in my parents car. When they sat next to each other in the front bench seat :-). Sorry this old guy has teared up. I LOVE THIS. The Ronettes and all the early '60's female groups I adore. Love them Thank You Ronettes for wonderful memories. Ronnie you made me happy. I hope to see you again singing in the here after. Rest in Peace Ronnie

Don't suppose she was a witness to an offbeat, casual wedding.... could be she'd rather watch than participate.
Her wedding to the maestro ended on a bad chord...but she was sweet and optimistic probably!
