Recording and structure

It was recorded in February 1965 around the same time as "Everyday I Have to Cry". The version of this song on Brilliant from Birth (1998) is faded 7 seconds early at 1:59 and you can hear Robin Gibb shouting and laughing on the fadeout. It was the first song on which Maurice Gibb is credited playing organ.[1]

The song starts with a guitar strumming, the riff and an organ and then Barry starts to sing the line "Come a bit close to me, let me be kissed, Come on and give to me what I have missed, I love you woman, I know that I'll get you somehow". And then Robin and Maurice sing harmony on the chorus: "You wouldn't know if I hadn't told you so, You wouldn't know if I hadn't told you so, oh".
