On the album and the Abkco video this song sounds sort of wide mono. I gave it a more explicit stereo image.
Recorded June 24, 1968. Released on "Beggars Banquet" in December 1968.
Vocals: Mick Jagger. Acoustic guitars: Keith Richards. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts. Harmonica: Brian Jones. Brian's harmonica is very faintly audible, the song would have stood out much more if the harmonica was mixed in much louder (Brian was a virtuoso on harmonica).
Source of the edit: "Beggars Banquet" (Japanese mini lp remastered 2006 (catalog nr. uicy-93027).

PRODIGAL SON
(Robert Wilkins)(early pressings of the album noted Jagger/Richard)

well a poor boy took his father's bread and started down the road
started down the road
took all he had and started down the road
going out in this world, where God only knows
and that'll be the way to get along

well poor boy spent all he had, famine come in the land
famine come in the land
spent all he had and famine come in the land
said, "I believe I'll go and hire me to some man"
and that'll be the way I'll get along

well, man said, "I'll give you a job for to feed my swine
for to feed my swine
I'll give you a job for to feed my swine"
boy stood there and hung his head and cried
`cause that is no way to get along

said, "I believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home
believe I'll go back home
believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home
or down the road as far as I can go"
and that'll be the way to get along

well, father said, "See my son coming home to me
coming home to me"
father ran and fell down on his knees
said, "Sing and praise, Lord have mercy on me"
mercy

oh poor boy stood there, hung his head and cried
hung his head and cried
poor boy stood and hung his head and cried
said, "Father will you look on me as a child?"
yeah

well father said, "Eldest son, kill the fatted calf,
call the family round
kill that calf and call the family round
my son was lost but now he is found
'cause that's the way for us to get along"
hey

REASON TO BELIEVE
(Tim Hardin)

if I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
still I look to find a reason to believe

someone like you makes it hard to live
without somebody else
someone like you makes it easy to give
never thinking of myself

if I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
still I look to find a reason to believe

someone like you makes it hard to live
without somebody else
someone like you makes it easy to give
never thinking of myself

if I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
still I look to find reason to believe

Edit 3 for headphones, Marh 2024. Recorded May 12, 1965 and August of 1966. Released in the US on the album "Flowers" on July 15, 1967.

At 1:27 a flute comes in very clearly, I never noticed that until Celeste Grey mentioned it. Great find, Celeste, indeed it is a flute! The flute is earlier (0:27) and later in the song too, but drowned in the violins' sound.

Great song, a cover of the huge no.1 hit for "The Temptations" in 1965.

Source file of the edit is in the album "Flowers" (Japanese mini lp remastered 2006)(uicy-93025).

MY GIRL
(Smokey Robinson/Ronald White)

I got sunshine on a cloudy day
when it's cold outside, I got the month of May

I guess you'll say
what can make me feel this way
my girl, my girl, my girl
talkin' 'bout my girl

I go so much honey, the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song baby
than the birds in the trees

I guess you'll say
what can make me feel this way
my girl, my girl, my girl
talkin' 'bout my girl

oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
hey, hey, hey, hey
hey, hey, hey, hey (oooh)

I don't need no money or count my pay
I've got all the riches baby one man can take

I guess you'll say
what can make me feel this way
my girl, my girl, my girl
talkin' 'bout my girl

I got sunshine on a cloudy day
I even got the month of May
my girl, my girl, I'm talkin' 'bout my girl

Edit 1b for headphones, November 2014/March 2024. Edit to try and get more flanging into the stereo version.
The source of the edit is the song is from the album "Odgen's Nut Gone Flake" (2007 expanded).

"Itchycoo Park" was released by "Small Faces" in August 1967. The song reached number 3 in Holland (centre of the world*) and the UK and number 16 in the US in 1968.

"Itchycoo Park" climbed the charts again when it was re-released on 13 December 1975, it reached no.11.

The song was one of the first pop singles to use flanging, an effect that can be heard in the bridge section after each chorus. Most sources credit the use of the effect to Olympic Studios engineer George Chkiantz who showed it to the Small Faces' regular engineer Glyn Johns (also the Rolling Stones' engineer).

Although many devices were soon created that could produce the same effect by purely electronic means, the effect as used on "Itchycoo Park" was at that time an electro-mechanical studio process. Two synchronised tape copies of a finished recording were played simultaneously into a third master recorder, and by manually retarding the rotation of one of the two tape reels (flanges) using the fingers, a skilled engineer could subtly manipulate the phase difference between the two sources, creating the lush 'swooshing' phase effect that sweeps up and down the frequency range. Because the original single version was mixed and mastered in mono, the flanging effect in "Itchycoo Park" is more pronounced in its original mono mix, and is noticeably diluted in the subsequent stereo mix.

In the sixties I - ruudtes - discovered this by accident with a mono pick up with variable speed control: first I recorded a song on track one of a mono two track tape recorder, and then I rerecorded the song on the second track while listening to the first track. By varying the speed of the turntable I could get the phase effect anywhere I liked it to be.

Edit 1c (delogoed) for headphones, March 2015. A January 31, 1978 live performance in "The Old Grey Whistle Test", a British television music show on BBC2 that ran from 1971 to 1988.*
The song is shorter, a verse was left out to have the performance fit in the program.

This backward attitude still exists widely in England: a so called British king - who in real is a descendant of the German family Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha that changed their German name to "Windsor" after World War I - is sort of idolized in that "King"dom. In real it is just a billions of British pounds consuming (= wasting) puppet show, with no meaning at all but nostalia... just a reminder of something that used to be but no longer exists... What DOES exist is rows of ambulances in front of hospitals, waiting to deliver their patients. Patients that sometimes die in the ambulance because the row is too long. True story from an ambulance chauffeur...

SULTANS OF SWING
(Mark Knopfler)

you get a shiver in the dark, it's rainin' in the park but meantime
south of the river you stop and you hold everything
a band is blowing Dixie double four time
you feel alright when you hear the music ring

and now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
comin' in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
competition in other places, but the horns, they're blowing that sound
way on down south, way on down south in London town

you check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
but it's strictly rhythm he doesn't wanna make it cry or sing
it's an old guitar is all he can afford, when he gets up under the lights to play his thing

and Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
he's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright
he can play the honky tonk like anything, savin' it up for Friday night
with the Sultans... with the Sultans of Swing

x this verse was omitted in this live BBC show:
x and a crowd of young boys, they're foolin' around in the corner
x drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
x they don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band, it ain't what they call rock and roll
x and the Sultans... yeah the Sultans played Creole... Creole

and then the man, he steps right up to the microphone
and says at last just as the time bell rings: "Goodnight, now it's time to go home!"
and he makes it fast with one more thing: "We are the Sultans... we are the Sultans of Swing."

ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN
(Chuck Berry - 1956 hit single)

I'm gonna write a little letter
gonna mail it to my local DJ
It's a rockin' rhythm record
I want my jockey to play
roll Over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

you know, my temperature's risin'
and the jukebox blows a fuse
my heart's beatin' rhythm
and my soul keeps on singin' the blues
roll Over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news

I got the rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I think I'm rollin' arthiritis
sittin' down by the rhythm review
roll Over Beethoven rockin' in two by two

well, if you feel you like it
go get your lover, then reel and rock it
roll it over and move on up just
a trifle further and reel and rock it
roll it over
roll Over Beethoven rockin' in two by two

well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you a warnin'
don't you step on my blue suede shoes
hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle
ain't got nothin' to lose
roll Over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news

you know she wiggles like a glow worm
dance like a spinnin' top
she got a crazy partner
oughta see 'em reel and rock
long as she got a dime the music will never stop

roll over Beethoven
roll over Beethoven
roll over Beethoven
roll over Beethoven
roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

Edit 1b (instr.) for headphones. With a kind of transparent Stones & Jagger to help you sing along...
From the bootleg cd "Black Box" by Yellow Dog (cd YD047.)

Supposedly the lyrics were written by Brian Jones & Keith Richards, with the music written by Jones, but he was never credited.*

Single and album version recorded in November & December, 1966. Released as a US single on January 13, 1967 and went to #1 on the charts. Released as a double A side single in the UK also on January 13, 1967, reaching #3. Released in the US on the album "Between The Buttons" on February 11, 1967.

Recorder & piano: Brian Jones. Vocal harmony: Brian Jones and Keith Richards. Vocals, backing vocals & tambourine: Mick Jagger. Acoustic guitar: Keith Richards. Cello, bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts. Jack Nitzsche: piano. Double bass: Keith Richards (bowing strings), Bill Wyman (fingers on fingerboard).

*
According to Mick Jagger: "That’s a wonderful song." "It’s just a nice melody, really. And a lovely lyric. Neither of which I wrote, but I always enjoy singing it." as told to Jann Wenner in 1995.

It’s safe to say that Brian Jones has composed the melody. Or at least, the major idea of it. On the other hand, Keith was probably the one to compose the lyrics or most part of it. They were both missing Linda Keith, that’s basically the inspiration to the song, by the way.

Marianne Faithfull has stated the same:

"I think in Brian’s state writing a song probably wasn’t possible. He could only do it through another medium, through Keith. I guess the closest he came to it was 'Ruby Tuesday', where his melancholy recorder wistfully carries that sense of irretrievable loss. 'Ruby Tuesday' was a collaboration between Keith and Brian. it’s one of the few cases where Mick had nothing to do with a Stones song, neither with the lyrics nor the melody - but he and Keith got the writing credit. Without Brian, there wouldn’t be a 'Ruby Tuesday'".

Still on Marianne, I’ve found this on line:

In one of the most telling episodes in Faithfull, her autobiographical collaboration with David Dalton, Marianne describes the moment in the studio when Jones first plays on recorder the beautiful lilting pastoral melody that would eventually become 'Ruby Tuesday'. Richards picks up on it and starts shaping it on the piano. Jones tells him that it’s a cross between John Dowland’s 'Air On The Late Lord Essex' and a Skip James blues. "Brian wanted everyone to say, 'That’s great Brian, wonderful! Good work!'"says Faithfull. "But of course nobody did." When it was released, as the flip side to 'Let’s Spend The Night Together', 'Ruby Tuesday' carried the standard Jagger-Richards songwriting credit. When they performed it on TV, Jones and Richards were sat together at the same piano stool, accentuating their physical and musical closeness. They would never be that close again." Rob Chapman.

Brian composed many sounds and melodies to Stones songs and for that reason capable of composing.

Not an edit. Colorized. Dubbed video, I used a live video and replaced the live recording with "Like It This Way" from the double album "The Vaudeville Years Of Fleetwood Mac 1968 to 1970". My apologies for some bad synchronisation. It's just to give the feel of a live concert (so much better than dull photos)... and the experience of a great studio recording.
The video is Fleetwood Mac during a live performance, November 3, 1969 in Norway in the Oslo sports hall 'Njardhallen'.

LIKE IT THIS WAY
(Daniel David Kirwan)

better love me, baby
love me all the time
better love me, baby
let me know you're mine
don't care what you say
you're gonna like it this way

give me all your love
'cause I know you need
give me all your love
'cause I know you need
a little bit of that holdin'
a little bit of that squeeze, yeah

better love me, baby
love me all the time
you better love me, baby
let me know you're mine
I don't care what you say
you're gonna like it this way

SING THIS ALL TOGETHER
(Jagger/Richards)

Why don't we sing this song all together
Open our heads let the pictures come
And if we close all our eyes together
Then we will see where we all come from

Pictures of us through the steamy haze
Picture of us painted in our place

Why don't we sing this song all together
Open our heads let the pictures come
And if we close all our eyes together
Then we will see where we all come from

Why don't we sing this song all together
Open our heads let the pictures come
And if we close all our eyes together
Then we will see where we all come from

Pictures of us beating on our drum
Never stopping til the rain has come

Why don't we sing this song all together
Open our heads let the pictures come
And if we close all our eyes together
Then we will see where we all come from

Edit for headphones, February 2024. The song was recorded in April 1967 at American Sound Studio in Memphis in the sessions for the Sweet Inspiration's self-titled debut album produced by Tommy Cogbill and Tom Dowd. Spooner Oldham and Dan Penn had observed the recording session for two tracks intended for The Sweet Inspirations album, which moved Oldham to suggest to Penn that they two could write a stronger song for the group.
Oldham: "As we walked [from the studio] up the steps to [the company's] offices, Dan said: 'You got any ideas?' I said: 'What's wrong with 'Sweet Inspiration'?"
Working with a single guitar Oldham and Penn wrote "Sweet Inspiration" in between an hour to ninety minutes upstairs, then returned to the studio and ran through the song for the Sweet Inspirations and the other session personnel, Penn singing the song to Oldham's guitar accompaniment.
Producer Tom Dowd called for a lunch break.
Dan Penn: "Spooner had [the opening rolling guitar] lick down so good the musicians wouldn't go eat...They knew by what was happening we could [immediately] cut [the track]" which was completed in a single take.
Producer Dowd and his coterie on returning to the studio from their lunch break were played the completed track of "Sweet Inspiration".
Oldham: "We basically gave 'em a gift. It was fun to see a creative idea come to fruition in about three hours time."

Issued as the fourth single from The Sweet Inspirations album, "Sweet Inspiration" reached a Billboard Hot 100 peak of #18 in the spring of 1968 also ranking as high as #5 on Billboard's R&B chart.

Source of this edit is the stereo version on the various artists album "1965-Only Rock 'n Roll-1969 - #1 Radio Hits" (1996 catalog nr. opcd-1732).

Harmonica & autoharp: Brian Jones. Vocals: Mick Jagger. Acoustic & electric guitars: Keith Richards. Drums: Charlie Watts. Bass: Bill Wyman. Piano: some mention Jack Nitzsche, some Nicky Hopkins, some Brian Jones.

The back cover of "Between The Buttons" is a six-panel cartoon accompanied by a rhythmic poem drawn by drummer Charlie Watts. When Watts asked Oldham what the title of the album would be, he told him it was "between the buttons", a term meaning "undecided". Watts gave the phrase to the title of his cartoon which in turn became the title of the album.

"Between The Buttons" was called "among the greatest rock albums" by Robert Christgau, who later included it in his "Basic Record Library" of 1950s and 1960s recordings, published in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981). He also wrote of the album for Rolling Stone magazine's "40 Essential Albums of 1967": "(T)his underrated keeper is distinguished by complex rhymes, complex sexual stereotyping and the non-blues, oh-so-rock-and-roll pianos of Ian Stewart, Jack Nitzsche, Nicky Hopkins, and Brian Jones." AllMusic's Richie Unterberger hailed it as one of the Rolling Stones' "strongest, most eclectic LPs". In a retrospective review for Entertainment Weekly David Browne called the album "a cheeky set of sardonic Swinging London vaudeville rock", while Billboard magazine's Christopher Walsh wrote that "it's brimming with overlooked gems, the band delivering a captivating blend of folky, Beatles-esque pop and tough bluesy rockers." Tom Moon wrote in The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004) that the album was "lighter and thinner" than Aftermath and, "having belatedly discovered pop melody Jagger and Richards were suddenly overdosing on the stuff." Music scholars Philippe Margotin and Jean-Michel Guesdon observed baroque pop and music hall on the album. Jim DeRogatis included "Between The Buttons" in his 2003 list of the essential psychedelic rock albums.
In 2003 the album was ranked number 357 on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest albums of all time list. Based on such rankings the aggregate website Acclaimed Music lists it as the 715th most acclaimed album in history.

WHO'S BEEN SLEEPING HERE
(Jagger/Richards)

what you say girl, you see what is wrong
you, must be joking, you was led alone
but the butler the baker, the laughing cavalier
will tell me now, who's been sleeping here

I want to know

tell me baby, who's been sleeping here

what you say girl, who'd you see that night
I was doing, doing something right
oh the soldier, the sailor then there's the three muskateers
they'll now tell me now, who's been sleeping here

did I ever tell you I want to know
hey baby, who's been sleeping here

don't you look like, like a goldilocks
there must be somewhere, somewhere you can stop
yes there's the noseless old newsboy the old british brigadier
but you'll tell me now, who's been sleeping here

who's been eating, eating off my plate
who will tell me, who'll investigate
there's the seargeants the soldiers the cruel old grenadiers
but they'll tell me, now, who's been sleeping here

'cause I want to know who's been sleeping right here
was it your mummy, your daddy, who's been sleeping here
was it your auntie, your uncle, who's been sleeping here
was it your boyfriend, your girlfriend, who's been sleeping here

Edit 2c for headphones, December 2021/January 2024. Dubbed video. I took the real live video with mono sound and put the stereo song in it. Sorry for that, I just want to present the stereo studio release of the song. This was quite a job, for the live lyrics are in different order than the lyrics of the official release. The first verse of the official release (at 0.35) says: "The evening sun is sinking low"... The first verse of the live video (at 0.30) says: "It might be one o'clock"...

Source file of the edit is the stereo version on cd two of the three cd bootleg "More Stoned Than You'll Ever Be - The Rolling Stones Anthology 1963-1971". Label: DigIt. Catalogue number: DICD3-007. Also catalogued as DICD3-007B. ***

The mono version of "Good times" first appeared on the US album "Out Of Our Heads" (July 30, 1965) and on the UK album "Out Of Our Heads" (September 24, 1965). This stereo version - that is, the non-edited - was on the lp "Necrophilia", but that lp was withdrawn, only a few copies exist, from which various bootlegs were made.

Recorded May 12 & 13, 1965.

Guitars: Brian Jones (acoustic) & Keith Richards (electric). Lead vocals: Mick Jagger. Drums: Charlie Watts. Bass: Bill Wyman. Percussion: Ian Stewart.

GOOD TIMES
(Sam Cooke)

ohhh la la ta ta
ohhh la la ta ta
la la la all night long
wanna tell you

ohhh la la ta ta
ohhh la la ta ta
la la la all night long

come on let the good times roll
we're gonna stay here to soothe our soul
it could take all night long

the evening sun is sinking low
the clock on the wall says it's time to go
I've got my plans I don't know about you
I tell you exactly what I'm gonna do

get in the groove and let the good times roll
we're gonna stay here to soothe our soul
it could take all night long

it might be one o'clock it might be three
time don't mean that much to me
ain't felt this good since I don't know when
I might not feel this good again

so come on let the good time roll
we're gonna stay here to soothe our soul
it could take all night long

all night, all night
all night, all night long
somebody said it might take all night long
all night, all night whoa

come on let the good times roll
we're gonna stay here to soothe our soul
it could take all night long

Edit 1b for headphones, January 2013. Finally the full version of the song in this video, that was only 1 minute and 45 seconds up to now.
This television performance - lip synced - had the guitar solo part cut out.
Enjoy the full 3 minutes and 11 seconds that I created! (And not the ones who shamelessly copied my video!)

The Outsiders were a Dutch band, so, from Holland. The singer, Wally Tax, died in 2005.
In March 1966 they were the opening act of a Rolling Stones concert in Holland.

A series of unexperienced managers and especially the Dutch tax service - commonly referred to as a bunch of evil thieves (straining out gnats & swallowing camels) - caused the group to fall apart.
After that, some members of the band did a new attempt with a new name - "Taxfree" - but without success...

Edit 1c for headphones, March 2023. The Temptations with their beautiful song "My Girl".
The performance was all dubbed, so I replaced the mono music of the video with a stereo version of the song... with a touch of ruudtes.
This video was blocked in 231 territories some time ago, seems that's no longer the case.* Still... here is a link to the video to share with your friends in case they cannot see this video in their country: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qgL97dqG00CPT2aajyHAATzBMIQKKoJX/view?usp=sharing

MY GIRL (the only true lyrics on the web...)
(Smokey Robinson and Ronald White)

I got sunshine on a cloudy day
when it's cold outside I've got the month of May

I guess you'll say
what can make me feel this way
my girl (my girl)(my girl)
talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees

well I guess you'll say
what can make me feel this way
my girl (my girl)(my girl)
talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

oooh
hey hey hey
hey hey hey
(oooh)

I don't need no money or to pop it in
I've got all the riches baby, one man can claim

well I guess you'll say
what can make me feel this way
my girl (my girl)(my girl)
talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
(talkin' 'bout my girl)

I got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl
I even got the month of May with my girl
(talking 'bout my girl)(my girl) talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout

UNDER THE BOARDWALK
(Kenny Young/Arthur Resnick)

when the sun beats down
and burns the tar up on the roof
and your shoes get so hot
you wish your tired feet were fireproof

under the boardwalk
down by the sea
on a blanket with my baby
is where I'll be

under the boardwalk, out of the sun
under the boardwalk, we'll be having some fun
under the boardwalk, people walking above
under the boardwalk, we'll be falling in love
under the boardwalk, boardwalk

from the park you'll hear
the happy sound of a carousel
you can almost taste the hot dogs
and french fries they sell

under the boardwalk
down by the sea, yeah
on a blanket with my baby
is where I'll be

under the boardwalk, out of the sun
under the boardwalk, we'll be having some fun
under the boardwalk, people walking above
under the boardwalk, we'll be falling in love
under the boardwalk, boardwalk

oh, under the boardwalk
down by the sea
on a blanket with my baby
is where I'll be

under the boardwalk, out of the sun
under the boardwalk, we'll be having some fun
under the boardwalk, people walking above
under the boardwalk, we'll be falling in love
under the boardwalk, boardwalk

this video is an edit of an edit by "Peter's channel" (his video is taken off of YouTube)
- this is his channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/lypilapa/videos?view=0
- what you hear right now is the music of his video, edited by me
sorry for this video which totally makes no sense at all - wrong video - it is just here to fill the blanks, for you know, it is my idea that a video takes your mind off of the music, so the whole idea of a video site & music is complete nonsense... my first ever vinyl that I listened to with my eyes closed on my newly acquired home stereo system (mid sixties it was)(a cheap Telefunken set)(before that I had a mono suitcase gramophone) took me away to far away places... I think it was side one of the album that starts with "Sing This All Together"... the Rolling Stones album that is maligned by so many... even bij the Rolling Stones...

MY GENERATION
(Peter Townshend)

people try to put us d-down (talkin' 'bout my generation)

t'is my generation, t'is my generation, baby

why don't you all f-fade away (talkin' 'bout my generation)

Not an edit (vs2)(2nd upload, lower volume), April 2013 (yes, an old crappy video) / January 2024. This is the version from the bootleg album "Necrophilia" (the official album was withdrawn shortly after its official release, but is available on bootleg albums). A brass section (left/centre) accompanies the fuzz guitar (right) throughout almost the entire song, though best heard in the first ten seconds. Brass "solo's" 1:58 to 2.06 and 2:50 to end.
This brass section is NOT on the "Aftermath" version.
Another difference in this version: Mick's voice is more at the foreground.
Yet another difference: the last line of the lyrics is NOT audible on any "Aftermath" version.
Another big hurray for the bootleggers!

I think it may be the same brass players that are on "Have you seen your mother, baby", that was recorded a few months later.

I think this version, this mix, is much better than the official release.
The song is from the bootleg "Necrophilia", VGP317 from The Vinyl Gang (that states "Think" was recorded December 3-8, 1965).

Recorded March 3-8, 1966. Official release April 15, 1966 on UK "Aftermath".

Electric guitars: Brian Jones & Keith Richards (solo). Lead vocals: Mick Jagger. Drums: Charlie Watts. Bass: Bill Wyman. Background vocals: Keith Richards.

THINK
(Jagger/Richards)

I'm givin' you a piece of my mind
the're no charge of any kind
try a very simple test
you should just retrace your steps
and think back, back, a little bit baby
back, back, alright

think, think, think back baby
think, think, back a bit girl
think, think, think back baby
tell me who's fault was that, babe?
tell me who's fault was that, babe?

think about a year ago
how we lived I'll never know
connin' people for a dime
here's another piece of my mind
think back, back, a little bit baby
back, back, alright

think, think, think back baby
think, think, back a bit girl
think, think, think back baby
tell me who's fault was that, babe?
tell me who's fault was that, babe?

take a look inside yourself
you're not really someone else
still I am the same old me
you say I lack maturity
but think back, back, a little bit baby
back, back, alright!

we're not children anymore
we don't need to play with toys
take a look and you will find
you're gettin' old before your time
but think back, back, a little bit baby
back, back, alright

think, think, think back baby
think, think, I said'a back a bit girl
think, think, think back baby
tell me who's fault was that, babe?
tell me who's fault was that, babe?

I said think, you'd better 'a think back a little bit
I said think, what about last year and the year before?
I said think, you promised me so much
I said think, doncha r'member 'a what you said?
I said think, 'a back ah, 'a back ah, a little bit babe?
