Well next time next year you'll be gone babe And i dont know what I'll do babe Will you hold me by a string, babe Will you let me wear your ring, babe Take a little time to process When you got big dreams you got to recess Well i wanna be with you Well i wanna be with you Nobody here really knows me They just tryin to tell me stories About the friends that they met in college And how famous people are their parents And I always feel like a dirty kid Well, I used to eat out of the garbage I know I should probably get over this But sometimes I feel like I'm still in it ... ❤

Good stuff:-)

Beautiful 12strings guitar. And I really love this song. Thanks!

I like this chord + strumming pattern and your vocals on this better than the original. Keep making more!

Have this with ehe B side. Any info on how to obtain a tape of the LP?

I was there, and it was great!

So very beautiful.

Masterpiece from the summer of my years.

I love this !

Been looking for this since someone stole my LIVE IN LAWRENCE compilation years ago ...Thank you

I like that, your voice sounds great. 😊

Thats a beautiful song Todd. You havent changed a bit. Old friend from Topeka

I like it!

Pablo Louseorama!

SO underrated as a songwriter.

Great harmony, great song...and I adore Todd' voice and phrasing.

The everlasting appeal of this song, and this original P.F. version in particular, is that it really conjures the teen desire for true love in the same manner as Romeo's speech to Juliet on the balcony. The song and vocal are universal and timeless, and it's pretty damn good poetry.

“The red hot band The Hang Ups” 😭

This is so cool!

When I listen to this, all I can say is, I love my son soooooo much! Brilliant!

Is this the original version? I love the way the Turtles did it, but this is great too.

One of my biggest influences for songwriting and debauchery

P.F. was one of the prolific songwriter of his generation.

this was on the where were you when i needed you album which was all sloan and barri when it became such a big hit they wanted to get people to be the grass roots the 1st group didn't work out then they got the rob grill group the record co and themselves didn't want them touring they wanted them writing and producing

Lori had such a beautiful voice. I remember playing on a round robin bill at First Ave/7th St Entry. They would have a bunch of bands that wouldn't usually play together going on in both rooms. And I got to just hang out with Lori and talk about music that crossed into both of our paths. Not to mention we had numerous musical friends in common.

Great photo of a great artist. Thank you.

This is great!

I come back to this song many times. Beautiful Music and Beautiful Voices. And I miss Lori.

Awesome

Hi Todd, these songs stand up so well 30 years on; they're among the best power pop songs there are, it's safe to say now. 'Twas an honor, and a blast to play kit on a few gigs doing this and other music of yours/Leatherwoods. Cheers! Regards, Doug.

I’ve listened to this song hundreds of times, with trepidation, will I kill the he cd I’m too lazy to burn a back up, two maybe three steps back from technological delivery. Love the (now) anachronistic reference to liquor store phone call. Touchstone record for me. Wish Newman wrote more, maybe he has…

個人的には、with Ｕが好きでした。 本当にいなくなってしまったのが惜しいボーカリストです…

P.F. Sloan - coolest name ever.

According to Trouble Boys, Westerberg (aka Pablo Louserama) co-wrote this song.

Simply great and I love the Turtles version, also. Mr. Sloan you were marvelous!

Hi Todd, I am an old friend of Lori's, from back in the 80s in Minneapolis. Like many, I was so very sad to hear that she'd passed away last week. I always hoped we would meet up again one day. As I am British and based in the UK, we hadn't seen each other for many years, but had always kept in touch. I would dearly love an mp3 of this beautiful song. I've searched high and low but can't find a way of getting hold of it on a CD or vinyl. Hope you don't mind me asking - and no worries if you'd rather not. Thank you, Andy.

Great!

Sounds like the Papa's & the Papa's ....

Love this band!

Such a gift mr. Phil Sloan

There s a sacredness when the author sings n plays instruments to his own creations

the best time machine is a song 🎧🎧🎧

I love that line 'you're not coming in and your coat is paper-thin'....

Gorgeous

Take me down, Jamie! (Post one with big bad Jamie singing.)

Great version

about what year was this?

if you have more, please post them!
