Spooky
The Classics IV And Dennis Yost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the cool of the evening when ev'rything is gettin' kind of groovy
I call you up and ask you if you like to go and meet and see a movie
First you say no, you've got some plans for the night
And then you stop, and say, "All right"
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

You always keep me guessin', I never seem to know what you are thinkin'
And if a fella looks at you, it's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
I get confused 'cause I don't know where I stand
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Spooky!

If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin'
I'm gonna tell you all what my heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams
So I'll propose on Halloween
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

Spooky
Spooky, oh alright
I said spooky, oh




Hey yeah, I said spooky!
Yeah yeah

Despite these challenges, he still loves her because he finds her intriguing and fascinating. The lyrics describe her as a spooky little girl who is reminiscent of a ghost who haunts his dreams.

Music from a time when it didn't matter if you were ugly. It was important to make good music and this wavy melody has been playing in my head for two days... Beautiful!

@miraclewarner7215

Didn’t matter if you were ugly😭😭😭😭😭

As a child of the 60s, and with 3 older sisters, I was subjected to this music day in and day out, and it feels like it’s part of my DNA. Love this era and genre. It’s in me baby!

Okay who’s listening in March 2024?
