Notes
-
- Brian wrote this song for the Ronettes and submitted it to Phil spector, who unilaterally changed the lyrics to a song called "Things Are Changing (For The Better). Brian recalls that Spector kicked him off the session because "he couldn't play the song right." Spector later cut the revamped song with the Blossoms as a public service announcement for equal opportunity.
- Californian court awarded Mike Love credit for lyrics for this song
- Lyrics
-
There she goes she ran in her room
She'll probably stay in there the rest of the day
It sounds like it must have been something you said
You know she's awful used to getting her way
Why don't you kiss her
(Why don't you kiss her)
And while you kiss her
(Tell her you miss her)
Why don't you treat her
(Why don't you treat her)
Treat her nice
Don't hurt my little sister
Don't hurt my little sister
Don't hurt my little sister
You know she digs you and thinks you're a real groovy guy
But yet I'm not sure that I feel the same
We both know that you've been making her cry
I hope you don't think it's some kind of game
Why don't you love her
(Why don't you love her)
Like her big brother
(Like her big brother)
Why don't you tell her
(Why don't you tell her)
Tell her you're sorry
Don't hurt my little sister
Don't hurt my little sister
Don't hurt my little sister
Don't hurt my little sister
(Why don't you love her)
Don't hurt my little sister
(Like her big brother)
Don't hurt my little sister
Don't hurt my little sister
Don't hurt my little sister
