1963 - Go Away Little Girl (Steve Lawrence)

Go Away Little Girl

"Go Away, Little Girl" is a popular song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. The song is notable for making the American Top 20 three times: for Steve Lawrence in 1962 (US #1), for The Happenings in 1966 (US #12), and for Donny Osmond in 1971 (US #1). It is also the first song, and one of only nine songs, to reach US #1 by two different artists.

In late 1962, Steve Lawrence released the original recording of this song. The single reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1963 and remained in the top position for two weeks.

Lyrics:

Go away, little girl
Go away, little girl
I'm not supposed to be alone with you
I know that your lips are sweet
But our lips must never meet
I belong to someone else and I must be true

Go away, little girl
Go away, little girl

It's hurtin' me more each minute that you delay
When you are near me like this
You're much too hard to resist
So, go away, little girl
Before I beg you to stay

Go Away
Please don't stay

It never work out
When you are near me like this
You're much too hard to resist
So, go away, little girl
Call it a day, little girl
Please, go away, little girl, before I beg you to stay

Go Away.
