///*****///

[Intro – live 1964 TV studio performance, raw jangly guitar riff, handclaps, tight drums, screaming teenage audience, group harmony]
Ooh la la, yeah yeah yeah
Ooh la la, yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 1 – lead male vocal, strong Liverpudlian accent, playful but urgent, live audience screaming underneath]
She walks down the road, a smile across her face
With a wink and a grin, then she’ll fly away
I said, “Love, don’t leave me standing here”
She laughed so loud, then she disappeared

[Pre-Chorus – rising harmony vocals, claps build, crowd screams between lines]
And I know, I know, I know
She’ll be back by half past ten
But I go, I go, I go
Falling for the same trick again

[Chorus – big melodic hook, stacked British harmonies, loud teenage audience reaction]
She’s got me running round
All over this town
Calling her name like a fool out loud
Girl, you got me feeling blue
Out here chasing after you
Oh, little girl, what am I gonna do?

[Post-Chorus – group vocals, garage-pop energy, audience clapping and screaming]
Yeah yeah yeah
What am I gonna do?
Yeah yeah yeah
Still chasing after you

[Verse 2 – raw vocal bite, drums driving, live TV studio energy]
She said, “Meet me by the corner shop”
I ran so fast that my heart near stopped
But the street was empty, the lights turned low
And the boys all laughed, said, “Mate, let her go”

[Pre-Chorus – tighter harmonies, bass pushes forward, crowd excitement rising]
But I know, I know, I know
She’ll come running back again
And I go, I go, I go
Losing every bit of common sense

[Chorus – bigger, brighter, full band, screaming audience between vocal phrases]
She’s got me running round
All over this town
Calling her name like a fool out loud
Girl, you got me feeling blue
Out here chasing after you
Oh, little girl, what am I gonna do?

[Bridge – breakdown, handclaps, shouted backing vocals, crowd interplay]
Well, me mates say stop
But me heart won’t quit
She’s got that look
And I’m lost in it

Call me mad
Call me blind
But she’s the only girl
On me mind

[Short Guitar Solo – raw 1964 garage tone, melodic, slightly rough, screaming teenage audience over the break]

[Final Chorus – full harmonies, tambourine, energetic live TV finish, loud audience reaction, applause]
She’s got me running round
All over this town
Calling her name like a fool out loud
Girl, you got me feeling blue
Out here chasing after you
Oh, little girl, what am I gonna do?

[Outro – repeated hook, group vocals, live-room finish, crowd screaming and clapping]
Ooh la la, yeah yeah yeah
She’s got me running round
Ooh la la, yeah yeah yeah
All over this town

[End – final guitar stab, drum hit, loud teenage crowd screams]
