Davis, Paul - '65 Love Affair Lyrics






I was a car hop
You were into be-bop
You sang, do wop diddy wop diddy wop doo
All of them changes you put me through

If I could go back again
Well, I know I'd never let you go
Back with all of my friends
To that wonderful

'65 Love Affair
We wasn't gettin' nowhere
But we didn't care
It was a crazy
'65 Love Affair
Rock 'n' roll was simple and clear
Oh, I still can hear I can hear it baby

Well I acted like a dum-dum
You were bad with your pom-poms
You said, ooh wah go team, ooh wah go
Ooh-ee baby, I want you to know

If I could go back in time
Well, I know somehow you'd still be mine
I wouldn't be so blind
To that wonderful

'65 Love Affair
When rock 'n' roll was simple and clear
Oh, I still can hear
I can hear it baby

Well, I tried to make you give in
One night at the drive-in
You said oh no baby, oh no woo
All of them changes you put me through

If I could go back in time
Well, I know somehow you'd still be mine
I wouldn't be so blind
To that wonderful

'65 Love Affair
We wasn't gettin' nowhere
But we didn't care
It was a crazy
'65 Love Affair
Rock 'n' roll was simple and clear
Oh, I still can hear I can hear it baby

We sang, doo wop diddy wop diddy wop doo
Doo wop diddy wop diddy wop doo...

If I could go back again
Well I know our love would never end
Back with all of my friends
To that wonderful '65 love affair...

    They don't make them like this anymore

  21. P.... M....

    Love mine old School Songs 💕

  26. H.... I....

    Life was good if you enjoyed this song! I was in Pennsbury High School graduating, and off to a big life!

  27. W.... ....

    Great song but Paul Davis hated this song. It was recorded for the album and he did not want it released as a single. I think it may have been a B side somewhere. Paul was very anti corporate music industry.

  28. J.... S....

    I FUCKING HATE that music sucks the sweat off a dead man's balls nowadays.

    J.... S....

    Weather forcast calls for clear to partly shitty today with a pissy weather front moving in tomorrow.

  29. J.... B....

    Don't think there would be another gem like Paul Davis. Truly exceptional!

  30. M.... ....

    Rip Paul Davis 1948 to 2008. You were a living legend. You were the best.

    M.... ....

    He did some work in Sheffield, Alabama at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in the '70s.

  31. A.... L....

    Paul davis god bless you rip

  32. D.... L....

    Now this is music!

  33. N.... B....

    When I think of my step "father", Benny Rappa, his songs always tend to show up randomly on my playlist or the radio. He is our guardian angel! (Drummer & "YEAH"/background vocals) :) :')

    That's the '70s in him. Most of the first half of the 80's was '70s style music all the way.

  42. C.... P....

    May he rest in peace. Paul Davis gave us a classic with this one.

  43. R.... T....

    Back as a senior in High School now, back then I had the world by it's short and curlies. Hah! Life was simple and we all cared about each other.

  44. a.... d....

    This song is simply amazing. Peaked at #6 on Billboard in May 1982. An incredible year for music.

  45. T.... R....

    When music felt good...♥️

    T.... R....

  46. S.... R....

    Paul Davis
    "'65 Love Affair"
    #6, 1982.

  47. a.... t....

    I just noticed that this song has a foundation to England Dan Seals huge hit, BOP. Maybe that's where the word came from.

    a.... t....

    Paul, along with Jennifer Kimball wrote Bop.

  48. T.... M....

    I remember when this song first came out. Couldn't turn the radio on without hearing it! Love it!! Love him!! ❤️

  49. v.... ....

    I love W.A.S.P., RATT, KISS Judas priest etc ... And Paul Davis!

  50. G.... G....

    This sounds like Roseanne by Toto.

  51. T.... H....

    Mississippi boy 💞💕💔

  58. T.... L....

    Jeez, this is the very essence of a happy love song. So heartwarmingly great.

  61. s.... h....

    Such a style of his own creative writing and melodies that paved the way for so many other artist to find their own way in the music industry...

  62. T.... S....

  63. J.... S....

    I thought this was Hall and Oates for the longest

  64. J.... F....

    Love the song he did with Marie Osmond. "You're still new to me" # 1 country song in "86" from Marie's "I only wanted you" cd. Love his greatest hits always loved his music.
    RIP Paul Davis🎶🎶🎶🎶🎹🎸🎸🎸⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💿📀💿📀💿📀💿📀🎸📀🎸💿📀💿📀

  65. N.... B....

    My step father Benny Rappa is on the drums and the "yeah" lol in this album. RIP to the most wonderful man I knew!
    When I play all of Benny's music I feel him with me :,)

    N.... B....

    Wow! That is so cool! Thanks for sharing history!

    N.... B....

    Dick Clark made him do YEAH on American Bandstand interview with Paul Davis! I remember!!

    N.... B....

    @Daniel Brooks Awesome. I can also remember as a kid him doing that for us to make us laugh. He was a comedian lol

    N.... B....

  69. V.... W....

    ❤💞👍🤗

  70. M.... C....

    Great song! Poor audio.

    M.... C....

    This is youtube you know. It's not going to sound like the CD.

  71. A.... C....

    Oh how I miss the music from the 1970s and the 80s.

  72. M.... M....

    I love this song! I never get tired of listening to it. It does something in my heart. I can’t explain it! Paul Davis is wonderful!

  73. D.... K....

    Just goes to show what a wealth of talent comes from Mississippi.
    The Ruffin brothers, Bo Diddley, Elvis, Marty Stuart, and this Meridian boy. I was in 9th grade in '65 and had NO CLUE at all what was coming.

    D.... K....

    You left out maybe the best of them all! Mr Mac McAnally! 10 or 11 time winner of the Musician Of The Year Award at the CMAs. Not to mention he's been Jimmy Buffett's right hand man for the last few decades and has penned some of the biggest sellers in country music. Jimmy and Mac were born in Mississippi. Jimmy's parents moved to Mobile and Mac moved to Sheffield, Alabama where he built his own studio on a bluff overlooking the Tennessee River. Jimmy comes here to record and write with Mac When they aren't out on the road. The last complete album he recorded here was Beach house on the Moon. They first was Coconut Telegraph.
    You Mississippians should get Mac's Live From Muscle Shoals CD. He tells great stories about Alabama, Mississippi and the Tennessee state line. He would have made a good comedian!

  74. s.... s....

    I will always love this song

  75. O.... ....

    All these years I could have sworn this was Hall & Oates.

  76. M.... M....
