Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song back in 1965 for my Chicago band, "The Chosen Few" to perform at our shows. It was an instant hit. The one studio version of this song was lost over time, so through the prodding of some old fans of the song, I re-recorded it. Sounds pretty good and sure was a lot of fun to produce.

Verse 1.
You headed to your night classes
To work on a college degree
But, I know the secrets
You've been trying to keep from me
I wonder how you get your grades
How you get your stars
When you're out taking courses
In the discotheques and bars
So, I gotta say ....
Chorus
Go, go, go and baby, stay away
I hurt too much to squeeze
Go, go, go and, baby, stay away
I hurt too much to squeeze
(BACK VOCAL: I hurt too much, I hurt too much baby, baby, baby, yeah, I hurt too much)

Verse 2.
You're a sweet little bee, baby
A bubbling bowl of honey
You got a hairpin stinger
And a hair trigger love
But, you go through men
Just like a pack of cigarettes
Yeah, ya smokes 'em up
While you're increasing their debts
So, I gotta say ......
Repeat Chorus
Go, go, go and baby, stay away
I hurt too much to squeeze
Go, go, go and, baby, stay away
I hurt too much to squeeze
(BACK VOCAL: I hurt too much, I hurt too much baby, baby, baby, yeah, I hurt too much)

BRIDGE
I'm feeling like boogie putt
Always a step behind
You had me reaching for the money
I've been hiding in my hatband
Now, what goes into a free hot dog?
What's floating in a free beer?
I had to find out the hard way
When after just one night you were calling you dear
So,.....
Repeat Chorus
Go, go, go and baby, stay away
I hurt too much to squeeze
Go, go, go and, baby, stay away
I hurt too much to squeeze
(BACK VOCAL: I hurt too much, I hurt too much baby, baby, baby, yeah, I hurt too much)
