An earlier version of their second number-one hit, “Help Me, Ronda” is a less-polished look at a classic Beach Boys song. While the main differences between this and the later version are with its production, there are some subtle lyrical changes as well, located in the second verse.
The recording...
[Verse 1: Al Jardine]
Well, since she put me down
I've been out doin' in my head
I come in late at night
And in the mornin' I just lay in bed
[Pre-Chorus: Al Jardine, Group]
Well, Ronda, you look so fine (Look so fine)
And I know it wouldn't take much time
For you to help me, Ronda
Help me get her out of my heart
[Chorus: Group, Al Jardine]
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, yeah
Get her out of my heart
[Verse 2: Al Jardine]
She was gonna be my wife
And I was gonna be her man
But she let another guy come between us
And it ruined our plans
[Pre-Chorus: Al Jardine, Group]
Well, Ronda, you caught my eye (Caught my eye)
And I give you lotsa reasons why
You gotta help me, Ronda
Help me get her out of my heart
[Chorus: Group]
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me Ronda, yeah
Get her out of my heart
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me Ronda, yeah
Get her out of my heart
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
Help me, Ronda, help, help me, Ronda
