You make me dizzy Miss Lizzy
The way you rock and roll
You make me dizzy Miss Lizzy
When we do the stroll
Come on Miss Lizzy
Love me 'fore I grow too old
Put your little hand in mine
You make me dizzy dizzy Lizzy
Oh, girl you look so fine
Just a rocking and a rolling
Girl I said I wish you were mine, ah
Oh, ah
You make me dizzy Miss Lizzy
When you call my name
Ooo, baby
Say you're driving me insane
Come on, come on, come on, come on baby
I want to be your loving man, Ah
Run and tell your mama
I want you be my bride
Run and tell your brother
Baby don't run and hide
You make me dizzy Miss Lizzy
Girl I want to marry you
Come on, give me fever
Put your little hand in mine, girl
You make me dizzy dizzy Lizzy
Girl you look so fine
You're just a rocking and a rolling
Oh I said I wish you were mine, ah

John originally wanted to sing it like this, but George Martin thought he should inject some more shouts / energy into it, to make it sound like their cover of Bad Boy, also by Larry Williams. Martin didn’t realize that Williams used different vocal styles in each song, but John finally went along with Martin’s suggestions, and thus we have two very different versions of this classic song. It’s interesting to think about John singing it in this laid-back, smooth style, but ultimately I think the energetic version was better suited for his voice, while the more mellow version here is better suited for Williams. Two great interpretations of one great song!

Love the instrumentation on this great record… the pianist keeps driving the song on, the horns add depth & the drummer is brilliant. Interesting to hear the original guitar riff - George certainly kept the faith when the Beatles covered it!

Larry Williams is one of greats of Rock n' Roll.

Why the necessity of comparing the original with the classic Beatles' version?... There really is no version which is 'better' than the other: this is a very powerful tune, specially for its time, and Larry was a pioneer and a trendsetter, while the Beatles had the exquisite good taste and experimental spirit of making three beautiful covers of his songs: "Bad Boys", "Slow Down" and this one. This is all great, we're talking about genius people.
