The lyrics of this song revolve around a guy who is infatuated with a married woman, knows he can never have her, and is relegated to confessing his love for her audibly, but alone.Yeah - that's a sappy plot line.
What set this song apart from the rest was that it was the Grass Roots' first to feature a horn section. The band worried that this would preclude it from becoming a hit. Nevertheless, it was well received and became their biggest hit in the United States. The single peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified gold with sales of over one million units by the end of 1968.
Still going strong in 1975 there is this blast from the past on American Bandstand.
