Where Did Our Love Go Lyrics


Baby, baby, baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself
I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me and it hurts so bad

You came into my heart (baby, baby) so tenderly
With a burning love (baby, baby)
That stings like a bee (baby, baby)
Now that I surrender (baby, baby) so helplessly
You now want to leave (baby, baby)
Ooh, you wanna leave me (baby, baby)
Ooh (baby, baby)

Baby, baby, Where Did Our Love Go?
Ooh, don't you want me?
Don't you want me no more (baby, baby)?
Ooh, baby

Baby, baby, where did our love go?
And all your promises of a love forevermore!
I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me, and it hurts so bad

Before you won my heart (baby, baby)
You were a perfect guy
But now that you got me
You wanna leave me behind (baby, baby)
Ooh, baby

Baby, baby, baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself (baby, baby)
Ooh baby, baby, baby

Where Did Our Love Go Song Chart
  • The Motown songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland wrote this. It was offered to another Motown group, The Marvelettes, who turned it down. Holland-Dozier-Holland had Marvelettes lead singer Gladys Horton in mind, but she sang in a lower key than The Supremes lead singer, Diana Ross. This forced Ross to sing in a lower, breathier style than she was used to.

    Lamont Dozier explained in the book Chicken Soup For the Soul: The Story Behind The Song: "I originally cut this track with the Marvelettes in mind. In fact, I cut it in Gladys Horton's key, the lead singer, which was much lower than Diana Ross'. At that time, at Motown, the policy was that the songwriters had to pay for the tracks we cut if it didn't get recorded by one of their artists. It never entered my mind that the Marvelettes wouldn't like the song. I had the chorus and went to the office to talk with Gladys and played it for her. She said, 'Oh, honey, we don't do stuff like that. And it's the worst thing I ever heard.' She was adamant about it. I was shocked.

    I knew I was in deep trouble if I didn't hurry and get someone to do the song because I wasn't about to pay for the track. I went through the Motown artist roster and went all the way to the bottom of the list and there were the Supremes, better known in those days as the 'no hit Supremes.' I told them it was tailor made for them, knowing that they had nothing going on at the time and needed a song. Much to my surprise, they said no. Gladys (Horton of the Marvelettes) told them I was looking for someone to record it. I wasn't giving up. Brian (Holland), Eddie (Holland) and I finally persuaded them to do it, convincing them that it was their saving grace and they couldn't refuse it. We had already had Top 40 hits with Martha & the Vandellas but they hadn't had recordings of any significance yet.

    They were so annoyed that they agreed to do it that, in the studio, they had a really bad attitude. Diana (Ross) said it was in the wrong key, that it was too low. (Of course it was - I wrote it in Gladys' key.) Since the track was already cut, she had to sing it in that key and she'd never sung that low before. It turned out that her bad attitude and the low key were exactly what the song needed! I'd worked out intricate background vocals but the girls refused to learn them. Finally I said, 'Just sing 'Baby, baby, baby'.' It worked to their advantage and worked perfectly.

    They didn't necessarily agree. Diana and I were throwing obscenities back and forth and she went running to Berry (Gordy, Jr.) and told him I said something off color about him. He came down to the studio to see what was wrong and while he was there, he asked to hear the song. He thought it was really good, but said that he didn't know if it was a hit, but that he thought it would be Top 10.

    The song was released and flew up the charts to #1. From then on, one hit followed another. It was the first of 13 consecutive #1s we did on the Supremes. The next time the Hollands and I saw the girls was at the airport. They were getting off a plane with their Yorkshire terriers, in mink stoles. We started laughing. It was so funny to see them turn into stars overnight."
  • This was the first #1 hit for The Supremes and their first song to chart in the UK. The Supremes had more US #1 hits in the '60s than any other artist, but they weren't instant hitmakers. After 8 singles which hadn't achieved much, The Supremes earned the nickname "No-Hit Supremes." They were not impressed when they were offered a song to record which The Marvelettes, the top girl group at Motown at that point, had already rejected. They thought it was childish and after recording it they didn't like the way it turned out, little knowing it was going to be their first big hit. Motown boss Berry Gordy insisted they record the song.
  • Hitsville USA's floors are mahogany wood floors which enhance echo's, footstomps and fingersnaps, with a high ceiling helping. All footstomps, including those heard on this song, at Hitsville were genuine and most of the time were done with plywood sheets laying over the floor and picked up with two to three mics, including mics sitting in the rear of the echo chamber. (thanks, Colby - Arthur, IL)
  • The word "baby" is repeated over 70 times in this song.
  • This was recorded on three tracks: one for rhythm, another for horns, and a third for vocals.
  • At the invitation of Berry Gordy, Adam Ant performed this in 1983 on the Motown 25th Anniversary TV special - the same show where Michael Jackson did his most famous Moonwalk. Ant was a huge star in England, but little known in the US, especially among the Motown crowd. Midway through the performance, Diana Ross appeared on stage, giving her approval to the British Punk rocker who was perplexing the audience. According to Ant, Michael Jackson called him after the show, asking where he got his costumes.
  • The Supremes hated the song but were in no position at that time to turn it down, so they had to record it. Mary Wilson recalled to Billboard magazine in a 2014 interview: "We were a little pissed. It wasn't like a Martha & the Vandellas song. We told Holland-Dozier-Holland to bring on the hits. If we didn't get a hit, our parents were going to make us go to college."

    "I went to Eddie and I cried," she continued. "I told him, 'You don't understand, we've got to get a hit record right now.' He said, 'Don't worry, trust us, this is going to be a smash.'"

    "One of the things we didn't like about it was that Flo and I just had to sing, 'Baby, baby.' We were used to doing intricate harmonic patterns but on this song we didn't do anything."

    My own true love
    At last I've found you
    My own true love

    No lips but yours
    No arms but yours
    Will ever lead me

    I roamed the Earth
    In search of this
    I knew I'd know you
    Know you by your kiss

    And by your kiss
    You've shown true love
    I'm yours forever
    My own true love

    Broken Arrow Lyrics


    The lights turned on and the curtain fell down
    And when it was over it felt like a dream
    They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream
    The agents had paid for the black limousine
    That waited outside in the rain
    Did you see them, did you see them?
    Did you see them in the river?
    They were there to wave to you
    Could you tell that the empty quivered
    Brown skinned Indian on the banks
    That were crowded and narrow
    Held a Broken Arrow?

    Eighteen years of American dream,
    He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall
    He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall
    His mother had told him a trip was a fall
    And don't mention babies at all
    Did you see him, did you see him?
    Did you see him in the river?
    He was there to wave to you
    Could you tell that the empty quivered
    Brown skinned Indian on the banks
    That were crowded and narrow
    Held a broken arrow?

    The streets were lined for the wedding parade
    The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song
    The black covered caisson her horses had drawn
    Protected her king from the sun rays of dawn
    They married for peace and were gone
    Did you see them, did you see them?
    Did you see them in the river?
    They were there to wave to you
    Could you tell that the empty quivered
    Brown skinned Indian on the banks
    That were crowded and narrow
    Held a broken arrow?

  • Neil Young wrote this after breaking up with the group because of what he called "An identity crisis." He quickly returned to the band and recorded this song. In a Rolling Stone interview about what broke up Buffalo Springfield; Young said, "I was going crazy, you know, joining and quitting and joining again. I began to feel like I didn't have to answer or obey anyone. I needed more space." Meanwhile, his Buffalo Springfield bandmate Stephen Stills concurs, saying in part: "We were of the age where you can very easily get the diva syndrome before you've sold any records or anything and all that stuff, and there was a little of that. And it was so laden with talent, this bunch, that we just hit the track going too fast that we went into the wall with no skid marks. It was just... we spun out. But we spun out because we didn't realize how hot the car was."
  • This track took over 100 hours to record, which was an eternity by 1967 standards. "Broken Arrow" sometimes draws raised eyebrows for being so oddly arranged - rather like the Beatles' psychedelic period such as "Revolution 9." Perhaps it is this song which longtime Young collaborator David Briggs had in mind when he said, "When you make rock and roll, the more you think, the more you stink."
  • Dewey Martin, who was Buffalo Springfield's drummer, sang the first verse of Mr. Soul in this tune. The track was produced by Jack Nitzsche, and the jazzy piano solo at the end is by Don Randi. (thanks, Steve - Los Angeles, CA)
  • Of "Broken Arrow," Peter Frampton had this to say: "Ever since the Buffalo Springfield, 'Broken Arrow' - I think that's the one that did it for me, that just put him at the top of my list as one of my favorites. And to have him and Stephen Stills in the same band, 'cause I love both of them, was incredible. But Neil is just an amazing performer as well as, obviously, the amazing songs he's written. I'm a big fan."

    Ohio Lyrics


    Ohio Song Chart
  • This song is about the events of May 4, 1970, when the US National Guard shot four unarmed students at Kent State University in Ohio. Neil Young wrote it shortly after seeing a news report on the tragedy. It was released 10 days after the shootings.
  • The Kent State shootings had a profound effect on some of the students who later became prominent musicians. Chrissie Hynde was a student at the time, and eventually formed The Pretenders. Mark Mothersbaugh and Jerry Casale were also on campus, and after the shootings, they developed the band Devo based on the concept of "De-Evolution," meaning the human race was regressing. Said Casale, "It refocused me entirely. I don't think I would have done Devo without it. It was the deciding factor that made me live and breathe this idea and make it happen. In Chrissie Hynde's case, I'm sure it was a very powerful single event that was traumatic enough to form her sensibility and account for a lot of her anger." Mothersbaugh added, "It was the first time I'd heard a song about something I'd been a participant in. It effected us. It was part of our life." (thanks to Jerry and Mark for their help with this)
  • Jerry Casale gave us this account of the shootings:
    "I was a student, I was a member of SDS - an antiwar group called Students for a Democratic Society, trying to restore Democracy at a time when LBJ and Nixon were running roughshod over it. There were several antiwar groups. That protest that day where everybody got shot was a protest against the expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia. It was a secret expansion, Nixon had done it the night before and we found out about it the next day - the whole nation did. They did it without an act of congress, without passing any new law or having any meetings. It was completely unconstitutional, so we're out there at noon, about 3,500 students at Kent State were out there. The governor, who certainly was a pro-war kind of guy, Governor Rhodes, he had placed the National Guard inside the heating plant of the school the night before anticipating what would happen when the students found out about Cambodia. Not only did he do that, but he waited until about 9 am on May 4th to declare Martial Law, which suspends all first amendment rights of The Constitution, meaning that any assembly is automatically illegal, you're automatically committing a crime. These National Guardsmen poured out of the heating plant, surrounded the protesters, and with a bullhorn announced that Martial Law had been declared and that we were all going to jail. Everybody starts chanting and screaming and they start shooting tear gas and some of the more ballsy protesters, while they're coughing and choking and puking are trying to throw it back, but most of the kids were anywhere from 50 to 100 yards away from these lines of National Guardsmen with guns. Nobody believed that the guns were actually loaded with live ammo. They just suddenly formed a row. The first one knelt and the second one stood, and they just shot right into the crowd, shot at all of us, down the hill at all of us. The worst thing about it is that 2 of the 4 students killed weren't part of the demonstration, weren't part of an antiwar group. They'd just come out of class from the journalism building at that time and come out on their way to their next class and were looking at the protest, just seeing what the hell's going on, and they got killed. The bullets just went everywhere, it was like a scatter-gun approach, like shooting geese. A lot of the bullets went over the heads of the protesters and kept going straight down the hill. One of the kids that's paralyzed for life was getting into his car to leave campus after his class, and they shot him in the back. He was at least 200 yards away and wanted nothing to do with what was going on. It was shocking. It pretty much knocked any hippie that I had left in me right out of me that day.
    I had been a member of the honors college and the only way I went to school was with a scholarship. My family was poor and I got a scholarship to go to school. What I had to do every year to earn my scholarship was work 3 months in the summer for the university admitting new students to the honors college, the incoming freshman, and helping them arrange their curriculum, taking them through the registration process. The summer before May 4th, I had befriended Jeffery Miller and Allison Krause, 2 honor students, and they turn out to be 2 of the 4 killed on May 4th. So I'd known both of them 9 months before this happened, and so when I realized that this girl on her stomach with a huge exit wound in her back with blood running down the sidewalk was Allison, I nearly passed out. I sat down on the grass and kind of swooned around and lied down. I was in shock, I couldn't move.
    The government and the press tried to lie about what happened as well as they could. The fact that anybody knows what happened is amazing because they did such a good job of muddying it up and lying, it was amazing. The final chapter there was that the parents of the students who were shot and killed banded together and went on a class action suit against Governor Rhodes and the state of Ohio and the National Guard, and summarily lost across the board. These kids that were shot were 18 and 19 years old. 2 of them were 18 and 2 of them were 19. They lost because by law, no one was allowed to be having a protest once Martial Law was declared, and they threw it out of the court system. I don't think anyone wants to know the truth. It ruins the myth of freedom in America to find out how easily it can be gone." (check out our Devo interview)
  • Young considers this the best song he wrote with CSN&Y. He included this on his 1977 Greatest Hits album Decade.
  • This became a protest anthem as Americans became fed up with the war in Vietnam. Providing a firsthand account of the shootings and the effect of this song, Alan Canfora told us: "On May 4, 1970, I was waving a black protest flag as a symbol of my anger and despair 10 days after I attended the funeral of my 19 year old friend killed in Vietnam. I was about 250 feet away from the kneeling, aiming guardsmen from Troop G - the death squad - minutes before they marched away up a hillside. They fired 67 shots from the hilltop during 13 seconds of deadly gunfire, mostly from powerful M1 rifles. I was shot through my right wrist. I survived because I jumped behind the only tree in the direct line of gunfire. About a week later, I was riding in the Ohio countryside with other Kent State massacre survivors when WMMS radio played the song 'Ohio' for the first time. We were deeply moved and inspired by that great anti-war anthem."
  • This was released as a single, but the song did not appear on an album until Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young included it on their live album Four Way Street a year later.
  • Young is Canadian. He was a vocal critic of American foreign policy throughout the Vietnam War and became a voice of dissent during the George W. Bush administration, when songs like "Let's Impeach The President" spoke out against the president and his war in Iraq.
  • Devo recorded this for the 2002 album When Pigs Fly, Songs You Never Thought You'd Hear. The album was a collection of unlikely covers by various artists. Cevin Soling, who put the album together, met Mark Mothersbaugh's girlfriend at a film festival, who told Mark about the project and got Devo involved. Says Soling:
    "I knew about the history, I was nervous about them thinking I was being exploitative of their tie to the tragedy. So I really tried to do that gingerly. That took a little while to get off the ground. They did "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini," which I guess they had started working on at one point. And I guess it was just sort of difficult getting everyone together and recording. But then they called me back and they said they listened to it and they didn't think it was good. So at some point in time, they finally all got motivated and got together. I guess Mark was very nervous about putting out something that might not up to Devo quality, and I think he's finally let the seer of his legacy kind of loom over doing new stuff."

    Gone With The Wind Lyrics


    Twisting turning
    The winds are burning
    Leaving me without a name
    How will we ever find our way

    Snow was falling
    I could hear the frightened calling
    Fear taking over every man
    Life meaning nothing more than sand

    Wind will sweep away
    The traces I was here
    A story in a teardrop
    That's all I have to give

    Rage inferno swallowing the life that I know
    Strength is the only way to fight
    You must look up to see the light

    Gone With The Wind

    Take all I know
    Turn it into darkened shadows
    They'll disappear in the sun
    When a new story has begun

    She survived the nightmare
    Began a whole new life here
    But I can see behind those eyes
    She still sees those fires in the night

    Twisting and turning
    Oh, the winds are burning
    Leaving me without a name
    How will we ever find our way

  • Unlike the Margaret Martin composition of the same name, this Blackmore's Night track is another fine example of olde worlde meets contemporary rock. It begins with the sound of a galloping horse and "intense kettledrums."

    The "Gone With The Wind" of Mr. and Mrs. Blackmore (Candice Night and Ritchie Blackmore married in 2008) is actually based on a Russian piece called "Polyushko Polye." (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England)

    Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black) Song Chart
  • This is an alternate version of Young's song "My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)." The lyrics are slightly different, and this is electric, while "My My, Hey Hey," is acoustic.
  • Young recorded this with the band Crazy Horse. It was the first time Young recorded with them since Zuma in 1975.
  • In the biography of Neil Young, Shakey by Jimmy McDonough, Neil points out that this song came about when he was jamming with the band Devo. The line "Rust never sleeps" was uttered by Mark Mothersbaugh, and Neil, loving the impromptu line, acquired it and would play the song live with Crazy Horse. (thanks, Chris - Philadelphia, PA)
  • The lyrics refer to "The King" and Johnny Rotten as rockers whose legacies live on. The king is Elvis Presley and Johnny Rotten was the lead singer of The Sex Pistols.
  • This is the last song on the electric side of Rust Never Sleeps. The first side (first 5 songs on the CD) are acoustic.
  • This was included on Live Rust, a concert album and video featuring Young playing against a backdrop of comically enormous amps and microphones.
  • The song has become a standby of Young's live performances, being played at nearly every live show throughout his career, often as a closing song.
  • John Lennon expressed his disagreement with the "burn out or fade away" sentiment in a 1980 interview with Playboy: "I hate it. It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out. If he was talking about burning out like Sid Vicious, forget it. I don't appreciate the worship of dead Sid Vicious or of dead James Dean or dead John Wayne. It's the same thing. Making Sid Vicious a hero, Jim Morrison - it's garbage to me. I worship the people who survive." Young responded to the quote, saying that he was describing the paradoxical nature of the rock-and-roll lifestyle, not advocating it.

    Under Pressure Song Chart
  • Raised in a broken home in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Logic lived with an abusive mother and drug-dealing siblings. His drug-addicted father was not a major part of his childhood, but they are in contact with each other now. This track finds him examining his relationships with his troubled family, and how they impacted his budding rap career.
  • The song is the title track of Logic's debut long player. Speaking with Revolt TV, the rapper explained it "encompasses the entire album, it embodies what everything leads up to, it's the final shootout in the movie before you roll the credits."
  • Logic first met Lenny outside of one of the rapper's first performances in Maryland. They became friends and the Gaithersburg MC ended up crashing on the couch in the basement of Lenny's family home as he struggled to pursue his music career. "There was a point where I didn't have a place to stay, so Lenny let me live with him because I didn't have anywhere else to go," Logic explained to MTV News.

    This was where Logic got the inspiration for his Under Pressure album cover. The rapper reached out to New York-based illustrator Sam Spratt to capture the scene. "I gave him different pictures of what it looked like… and then from there he pretty much outlined everything," he said. "I think I knew after I created 'Under Pressure,' the song, that gave me the idea for the album cover. Because the entire album is about the come-up and [much] of it does take place in the basement as well, and that time."

    I Want You Back Lyrics


    When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
    Those pretty faces always make you stand out in a crowd
    But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance is all it took
    Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

    Oh baby, give me one more chance
    (To show you that I love you)
    Won't you please let me back in your heart
    Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
    (Let you go, baby)
    But now since I've seen you it is on
    (I Want You Back)
    Oh I do now
    (I want you back)
    Ooh ooh baby
    (I want you back)
    Yeah yeah yeah yeah
    (I want you back)
    Na na na na

    Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night
    Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
    Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground
    Following the girl I didn't even want around

    Let me tell ya now
    Oh baby, all I need is one more chance
    (To show you that I love you)
    Won't you please let me back in your heart
    Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
    (Let you go, baby)
    But now since I've seen you it is on

    All I want
    All I need
    All I want!
    All I need!

    Oh, just one more chance
    To show you that I love you
    Baby baby baby baby baby baby!
    (I want you back)
    Forget what happened then
    (I want you back)
    And let me live again!

    Oh baby, I was blind to let you go
    But now since I've seen you it is on
    (I want you back)
    Spare me of this cost
    (I want you back)
    Give me back what I lost!

    Oh baby, I need one more chance, hah
    I'd show you that I love you
    Baby, oh! Baby, oh! Baby, oh!
    I want you back!
    I want you back!

    I Want You Back Song Chart
  • This was the first Jackson 5 single released by Motown Records. It launched their career and went to #1 in the US, as did their next three releases: "ABC," "The Love You Save" and "I'll Be There."
  • Michael Jackson sang lead. He was 11 years old and the youngest of the group. There was one younger Jackson brother named Randy, who replaced Jermaine in the group in 1977.
  • This was written by a team of Motown writers called The Corporation. The head of the label, Berry Gordy, was one of the writers. They were based in California, unlike most Motown writers who were in the Detroit offices.
  • Michael Jackson reminded Berry Gordy of Frankie Lymon, another teenage star. Gordy helped write this as if he was writing for Lymon.
  • The original title was "I Want To Be Free." It was Gordy's idea to change it to "I Want You Back" and make it more of a love song.
  • This was intended for Gladys Knight & The Pips, and at one point Diana Ross was going to record it, but Berry Gordy decided to change the title and some of the lyrics and use it for his newly-signed group of boys, the Jackson 5.
  • Gordy went out of his way to make this a hit. He was very high on The Jackson 5, and felt they were the perfect group to prove that Motown could continue it's success through the '70s. At the time, this was the most expensive Motown single ever recorded.
  • When this topped the Hot 100, the 11-year-old Michael Jackson became the youngest person to feature in an American #1.
  • Two popular songs sampled this in 2001: Jay Z used it on "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" and it was also used on Lil' Romeo's "My Baby." It was also sampled on the Kris Kross hit "Jump."
  • The sci-fi Soul singer-songwriter Janelle Monáe covered this as a bonus track on the deluxe edition of her The Electric Lady album. She explained to A.V.Club that she chose this particular tune as it resonated with her. "There are so many amazing Michael Jackson songs from different stages of his career," she said, "and that happened to be one of my favorite stages. It makes people happy, and I love the tone, and musically, it has a lot of places to go for our orchestra. It has a lot of odd instrumentation."

    "The version I did does not sound like the Jackson 5 original recording," Monáe continued. "I wanted to interpret it my way and record it differently, while continuing to pay homage to him, but I saw it in a different light. I'm really excited to let you guys hear it because you'll get a chance to hear that song from my perspective. I had a dream about it and how I wanted it to be recorded."

    Lips Are Movin Lyrics


    If your Lips Are Moving, if your lips are moving
    If your lips are moving, then you're lyin', lyin', lyin', baby
    If your lips are moving, if your lips are moving
    If your lips are moving, then you're lyin', lyin', lyin', baby

    Boy, look at me in my face
    Tell me that you're not just about this bass
    You really think I could be replaced
    Nah, I come from outer space
    And I'm a classy girl, I'mma hold it up
    You're full of something but it ain't love
    And what we got, straight overdue
    Go find somebody new

    You can buy me diamond earrings and deny-ny-ny, ny-ny-ny, deny-ny
    But I smell her on your collar so goodbye-bye-bye, bye-bye-bye

    I know you lie
    'Cause your lips are moving
    Tell me do you think I'm dumb?
    I might be young, but I ain't stupid
    Talking around in circles with your tongue
    I gave you bass, you gave me sweet talk
    Saying how I'm your number one
    But I know you lie
    'Cause your lips are moving
    Baby don't you know I'm done

    If your lips are moving, if your lips are moving
    If your lips are moving, then you're lyin', lyin', lyin', baby
    If your lips are moving, if your lips are moving
    If your lips are moving, then you're lyin', lyin', lyin', baby

    Hey baby don't you bring them tears
    'Cause it's too late, too late baby
    You only love me when you're here
    You're so two-faced, two-faced babe

    You can buy me diamond earrings and deny-ny-ny, ny-ny-ny, deny-ny
    But I smell her on your collar so goodbye-bye-bye, bye-bye-bye

    I know you lie
    'Cause your lips are moving
    Tell me do you think I'm dumb?
    I might be young, but I ain't stupid
    Talking around in circles with your tongue
    I gave you bass, you gave me sweet talk
    Saying how I'm your number one
    But I know you lie
    'Cause your lips are moving
    Baby don't you know I'm done

    Come on, say!

    If your lips are moving, if your lips are moving
    If your lips are moving, then you're lyin', lyin', lyin',
    If your lips are moving, if your lips are moving
    If your lips are moving, then you're lyin', lyin', lyin',

    I know you lie
    'Cause your lips are moving
    Tell me do you think I'm dumb?
    I might be young, but I ain't stupid
    Talking around in circles with your tongue
    I gave you bass, you gave me sweet talk
    Saying how I'm your number one

    Lips Are Movin Song Chart
  • Meghan Trainor's second single is a sassy tune that finds the singer breaking up with her cheating boyfriend.

    I know you lie because your lips are movin
    Tell me do you think I'm dumb?
    I might be young, but I ain't stupid
    Talking circles with your tongue


    Though the song is not all about her bass, it is another doo-wop throwback in a similar vein to Meghan's breakthrough single.
  • The song's music video finds Meghan belting out the soulful tune, flanked at times by backing dancers in front of several colorful backgrounds. "It's not just a story or a theme of 'here's a boy and here's me and me yelling at him,'" she explained to MTV News. "It's like, 'Here's me being sassy and other people dancing with me and having just a good time and trying to get through this feeling of, Ugh he's cheating on me again.' Like, 'I know you're lying, but that's OK because I'm gonna find the next guy. I'm good.'"
  • The clip features props being lifted on and off screen by various workers. Did you recognize any of them? Several Vine, Instagram and YouTube stars have cameos in the video, including Marcus Johns, Chachi, Les Twins, Robby Ayala and Cody Johns. In addition the chorography, set design, hair and makeup, styling and behind-the-scenes photography was all done by the social influencers.

    Meghan is a personal fan of many of her co-stars. "Les Twins are incredible, I watch their videos all the time," she told Billboard magazine. "I have been following Marcus and Cody Johns since their first Vine, and Mei -- who did my nails for the video -- is so incredibly talented."

    "I'm excited we were the first to make a music video this way, by tying in all the innovators and influencers," Meghan added. "But it still feels very 'Meghan Trainor,' which is amazing!"
  • Meghan Trainor wrote this in just eight minutes with her writing partner Kevin Kadish. She recalled to Q magazine: "That was scary. I remember looking at the clock and thinking, 'Hang on, we just started it at this minute, now we're done, so how is it this minute?' We just freaked out."
  • Like "All About That Bass," this song also has a retro sound and uses the same basic structure, starting with the chorus and then going verse/chorus/verse/chorus (B-A-B-A-B).

    Respect Song Chart
  • Otis Redding wrote this and originally recorded it in 1965, with his version hitting #35 in the US. Redding said of the song shortly before his death in 1967: "That's one of my favorite songs because it has a better groove than any of my records. It says something, too: 'What you want, baby, you got it; what you need, baby, you got it; all I'm asking for is a little respect when I come home.' The song lines are great. The band track is beautiful. It took me a whole day to write it and about twenty minutes to arrange it. We cut it once and that was it. Everybody wants respect, you know."
  • Redding's version consisted of only verses - no chorus or bridge. Aretha appropriated King Curtis' sax solo from Sam & Dave's "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby," which he recorded the previous night for Stax Records, and used that for the bridge.
  • Franklin's cover is by far the best-known version, but this was an important song for Otis Redding. It was just his second Top 40 hit, following "I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)," and it helped establish Redding on mainstream radio. Otis also performed the song at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967; this was a defining performance for the singer, who died in a plane crash six months later.
  • It was Aretha's idea to cover this song. She came up with the arrangement, added the "Sock it to me" lines, and played piano on the track. Her sister Carolyn, who sang backup on the album, also helped with the song.
  • Aretha recorded this in New York City with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, a group of four studio musicians who also played sessions in Nashville and Muscle Shoals, Alabama before starting their own Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. This was one of their first, and most famous recordings. They went on to work with Wilson Pickett, Paul Simon, Bob Seger and The Staple Singers.
  • Jerry Wexler produced this. He played a big role in unleashing Aretha's talent. Wexler said in his autobiography, Rhythm and the Blues: A Life in American Music: "The fervor in Aretha's voice demanded that respect; and more respect also involved sexual attention of the highest order. What else would 'sock it to me' mean?"
  • Tom Dowd was the engineer for this session. He worked for Atlantic Records, who had an arrangement with Stax, which is where Otis Redding recorded. Dowd worked with Redding, which led to Aretha's cover. In the documentary Tom Dowd And The Language Of Music, Dowd talked about working with Franklin on this song: "I walked out into the studio and said, 'What's the next song?' Aretha starts singing it to me, I said, 'I know that song, I made it with Otis Redding like three years ago.' The first time I recorded 'Respect,' was on the Otis Blue album, and she picked up on it. She and Carolyn were the ones who conceived of it coming from the woman's point of view instead of the man's point of view, and when it came to the middle, Carolyn said, 'Take care, TCB.' Aretha jumped on it and that was how we did 'Respect.'"
  • The lyric "Take care, TCB" is often misheard. "TCB" means "Taking Care of Business."
  • Aretha's line, "Sock it to me," became a catch phrase on the TV show Laugh In in the '70s. The line was also used in the song "Come On Sock It To Me" by the soul singer Syl Johnson, also in 1967.

    This line is often heard as a sexual reference, but Aretha denies this. "There was nothing sexual about that," she told Rolling Stone in 2014.
  • Franklin had just signed with Atlantic Records, and when her single "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)" became a hit, and Atlantic quickly arranged the sessions that produced "Respect" so she could put out an album to accompany the single. Aretha went on to release her biggest hits with Atlantic and became known as the "Queen Of Soul."
  • Before Aretha broke through and became the Queen of Soul, Etta James was the more popular singer. After this was released, James tried to resurrect her career by releasing her own cover of an Otis Redding song: She did a version of Redding's "Security," but it barely got noticed.
  • This has been used in many movies, including Platoon, Forrest Gump, Mystic Pizza, and Back To School. Maureen McGovern, who hit #1 with "The Morning After," played the part of a nun who sang this in the movie Airplane!.
  • This was Aretha's first song to chart in the UK, where it made #10.
  • Many believe that Aretha was drawing on her own tumultuous marriage at the time for inspiration. Jerry Wexler commented: "If she didn't live it, she couldn't give it... But, Aretha would never play the part of the scorned woman.... Her middle name was Respect." (Quotes from Rolling Stone magazine's Top 500 Songs)
  • When asked why the song is so successful, Aretha explained, "Everyone wants to be respected."
  • In the second verse, Franklin proclaims to her man that she is about to give him all her money, and that all she's asking is for him to give her "her propers," when he gets home. This term would evolve into "props," commonly used in Hip-Hop in the context of proper respect.
  • In 1989 the American R&B vocalist Adeva had a #17 hit in the UK with her house version of this song. It was her debut hit and coincidentally her next 2 releases also peaked at #17. She never achieved a higher chart placing.
  • A Long Island group called The Vagrants released their version of this song shortly before Franklin's came out. The Vagrants recording tanked, and the group soon called it quits, but their bass player Felix Pappalardi and guitarist Leslie West went on to form Mountain, who played at Woodstock and had an enduring hit with "Mississippi Queen."
  • Aretha Franklin sings this song in the movie Blues Brothers 2000. She also appeared in the original Blues Brothers movie, performing "Think."

  • This six-minute environmental call-to-arms finds Young crying foul of corporate greed and pleading to end the world's dependence of fossil fuels. It was spurred by several viewings of the documentary Under The Influence, which is about corporations' influence on government.
  • The song was originally performed at Crazy Horse's UK shows during the summer of 2014 and as part of Young's solo acoustic set at Farm Aid in Raleigh, North Carolina on September 13th.
  • Young laid down four separate versions of the song. The first one released was a fierce live rendition with Crazy Horse recorded in July 2014 during a show in Liverpool, England.
  • The video features a version recorded by Young with a 92-piece orchestra. Disturbing images of pollution are shown on the screens above the classical musicians.
