The British group debut 1964 hit – the only song of theirs to ever chart in the UK. It reached No. 2 in the US. They had an even greater success with their 1968 hit “Time of the Season”.
It was the first song with accompanying electric piano to hit the British charts.
The song appeared a year late...
[Verse 1]
Well, no one told me about her
The way she lied
Well, no one told me about her
How many people cried
[Pre-Chorus]
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know? Why should I care?
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there!
[Chorus]
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she acted, the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
[Verse 2]
Well, no one told me about her
What could I do?
Well, no one told me about her
Though they all knew
[Pre-Chorus]
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know? Why should I care?
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there!
[Chorus]
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she acted, the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
[Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know? Why should I care?
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there!
[Chorus]
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she acted, the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
She’s Not There was written by Rod Argent.
She’s Not There was produced by Marquis Enterprises.
The Zombies released She’s Not There on Fri Jul 24 1964.
Miles Davis was a subconscious influence of song writer Rod Agent –
When I wrote and played ‘She’s Not There,’ the last thing on my mind was jazz or Miles, but those things filtered through.
