"(Yeah) You, I really really love you
Nobody else will do
That's why I love you
That's why, why, why

(Yeah) You, I really really love you
Nobody else will do
That's why I love you
That's why, why, why

Well babe you know I love you so
I'd pay the world if you could know
And when I see, you're comin' down the street
My heart skips (a) beat

You, I really really need you
But yet you play me for a fool
Why do you do me like you do, do, do
(Yeah)

Well babe you know I love you so
I'd pay the world if you could know
And when I see, you're comin' down the street
My heart skips (a) beat

You, I really really need you
But yet you play me for a fool
Why do you do me like you do
Why do you do me like you do
Why, why"

GONE TROPPO
Gone Troppo is an album by George Harrison recorded and released in 1982. It would prove to be Harrison's last studio album for five years, wherein he would largely take an extended leave of absence from his recording career, with only the occasional soundtrack recording surfacing.

By 1980, Harrison had been finding the current musical climate alienating. His commercial appeal had dwindled, with 1981's Somewhere in England failing to go gold (despite featuring the John Lennon tribute smash hit, "All Those Years Ago"). With one album left on his current recording contract, Harrison decided to get it over with and recorded Gone Troppo (an Australian slang expression meaning "gone mad/crazy") and released it without participating in any promotion, so disenchanted he was with the state of the music industry.

Gone Troppo - with its busy artwork by friend "Legs" Larry Smith (formerly of Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band) - was considered by most to be a flop, reaching a #108 in the US and never even touching the UK charts. It became the worst selling studio album Harrison released... That's why I say Fuck the music industry!

In 2004, Gone Troppo was remastered and reissued both separately and as part of the deluxe box set The Dark Horse Years 1976-1992 on Dark Horse Records with new distribution by EMI, adding the bonus track demo version of "Mystical One".

là on retrouve George qui s'amuse dommage que le show business ne soit pas aussi drôle !

c'est vrai mon ami!

I really love this more than the original :D

The harmonies strongly make the song !

Gone Troppo is one of the most wonderful pop-album by any artists which each song has its own merits.

I wonder why some Harrison's fans disdain this album. :(

This is a remake. It was originally done by a doo-wop group, the Stereos in 1961. Written by Leroy Swearingen.

vinyl spins faster than cd, it's easy to find out in this song

George est mon artiste préféré , mais cette chanson ( qu'il n'a pas composé) n'a jamais réussi à me toucher , une horreur ...

[bunchie1966]

Lovely. I have been searching for this for years. Sadly I lost the album a long time ago.

"Ringo" fans.... In honor of Ringo's 70th, I hope U will check out my "RINGO"video.  It's very retro with Beatleish touches & was done as a labor of love and with the utmost respect for the Fabs. My attempt at putting a little bit of the Beatle spirit out there for Beatle fans. It's also my tribute to George Harrison's slide playing as well as Ringo's unique style.

Peace,

Vinnie Zummo, former Joe Jackson guitarist

The entire Gone Troppo album is great.

[KRAZYCorps]

George Harrison does Doo-Wop. Catchy tune this is...
