"Stand By Me" from the year before. Later covered by Aretha Franklin in 1970 as
a Top 15 soul hit.Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
No, no, no, no, no, no, noDon't play that song for me
It brings back memories
Of days that I once knew
The days I spent with youOh no, don't let it play
It fills my heart with pain
Please stop it right away
I remember just-a what it saidIt said (Darling, I love you)
You know that you lied
(Darling, I love you)

But, baby, you lied
