Still another one-hit wonder: Minneapolis punkers the Castaways took this
rant to #12 in October, 1965. Dave Marsh: 'Twenty years later, Prince
came out of the same town with two-finger organ riffs that surpassed
this one, but it took that long to beat 'em.' -- AWR

If you keep on tellin' me those lies
Still goin' out with other guys
There'll come a day I'll be gone
Take my advice, won't be long

Be free of you, but I'll still be sad
In spite of your cheatin', still love you so
I'll be unhappy if I let you go
