[Verse 1: Carl Wilson]

[Chorus: Carl Wilson and (Brian Wilson)]
(Is somebody gonna tell me) why she has to lie-i-ie?
She'd be so right to hold me tonight
Love was made for her and I

[Verse 3: Carl Wilson]

[Chorus: Carl Wilson and (Brian Wilson)]
(Wake up, call me baby, call me)
Tell me what's on your mind
I've got a car and you're not too far
Please let me come over to you
Doo do doo do do
[Verse 1: Carl Wilson]
The night was so young and everything still
The moon shining bright on my window sill
I think of her lips, it chills me inside
And then I think why should she hide
