Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna
I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she's been gone
I've never been the same
'cause I love my girl
Now that you're gone
I'm left all alone
All by myself
To wander and roam
'cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?
Well, darlin', now that you're gone
I don't know what I´ll do
All the time and all my love for you
I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
'cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?
Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna

Very good track, but I must end with my brand of comedy, just imagine singing the word teapot instead of Donna, funny, just imagine, teapot, teapot teapot, I had a girl, teapot was her name etc

Donna and Sea Of Love was covered by Marty Wilde.... poorly. Ritchie Valens' Donna and Phillips' Sea Of Love were sung by the songwriters. Certain emphasis was put on words, verses and the chorus..The songs were unique to the songwriters..They both hit Number 1..Marty Wilde sings the lyrics too syrupy and the chorus is sang in a wailing out of place on his version. His records were never played in the US but I found Donna by him in a record catalog. A friend of mine put it on a CD he was making for me..I listened to it once. Sea Of Love has been covered by some American singers but didn't do well..I heard that London Records released Donna by Ritchie in the UK but of course it didn't do well. Marty was never played over here. If it had been it would have been panned since Ritchie's version is the ultimate.. I heard London Records released Donna by Ritchie Valens in England but it didn't do well. The Brits probably thought Ritchie was covering Wilde. Tommy Steele covered Come On Let's Go but it didn't make it to the USA.
