Failures of Imagination
Lyric of the week:
What can I do
Baby it’s you
They say, they say you never never ever been true (cheat, cheat)
Wo ho, it doesn’t matter what they say
I know I’m gonna love you any old way
What can I do, then it’s true
Don’t want nobody, nobody
Cause baby it’s you”
–“Baby It’s You,” lyrics and production by Burt Bachrach, Luther Dixon, and Mack David. The original version by The Shirelles (1961) continues to astound. Strangely covered by The Beatles in 1963.
