• Every time I see her she don't even look my way,
  Maybe she will notice me, but then what would I say?
  I would say what's on my mind,
  But the words are hard to find,
  But I'm gonna try to tell her anyway.
  Don't you know that she's just my style,
  Everything about her drives me wild,
  Don't you know that she's just my style,
  Everything about her drives me wild,
  Don't you know that she's fine, so fine.
  Other guys who meet her may not think she's much to see,
  I can't begin to tell you what she always does to me,
  Maybe it's the clothes she wears,
  Or the way she combs her hair,
  Oh, that makes me want to tell her that I care.
  Don't you know that she's just my style,
  Everything about her drives me wild,
  Don't you know that she's just my style,
  Everything about her drives me wild,
  Don't you know that she's fine, so fine.
  (Guitar Solo)
  Maybe it's the clothes she wears,
  Or the way she combs her hair,
  Oh, that makes me want to tell her that I care.
  Don't you know that she's just my style,
  Everything about her drives me wild,
  Don't you know that she's just my style,
  Everything about her drives me wild,
  Don't you know that she's fine, so fine.
  Don't you know that she's just my style,
  Everything about her drives me wild,
  Don't you know that she's just my style,
  Everything about her drives me wild...

  R.I.P. bassist Allan Ramsay (1943 - 1985) and Gary Lewis, born Gary Harold Lee Levitch, will celebrate his 69th birthday in five months on July 31st (2014).
• Matthew from Toronto, OnIf they were going for that happy-go-lucky, upbeat sound the Beach Boys were initially famous for, Gary & company certainly succeeded. It has a raucous, uptempo feel, very easy to sing along with, and always a welcome play on the radio. A well-deserved smash, and a much superior effort to their #1 This Diamond Ring, in my opinion.
• Daevid from Glendale, CaProduced by Leon Russell, simply a great,great song!
