Notes
-
- Foreshadows the stripped down R & B sound of the next album, "Wild Honey".
- The sound of the verses sound very up to date and very "alternative".
- Single was credited not as the Beach Boys, but as "Brian and Mike" and was the last release on the original Brother label.
- Lyrics
-
I wake up in the mornin' just to work all through the day
That sun can get so hot that you can sweat your strength away
And ooooohhhhhhhh come the night time
Gettin' hungry
Hungry for my kind o' woman
I'm gettin' hungry
Soon I gotta find me a woman
I'm gettin' hungry
Searchin' for a pretty girl
But I still get up in the mornin'
Though it's so hard all day long
If it weren't for the love of a woman
I don't think I'd continue on
And oooohhhhh come the night time
Gettin' hungry
Hungry for my kind o' woman
I'm gettin' hungry
Soon I gotta find me a woman
I'm gettin' hungry
Searchin' for a pretty girl
I'm gettin' hungry
Hungry for my kind of woman
Hungry
Hungry for my kind o' woman
I'm gettin' hungry
Soon I gotta find me a woman
I'm gettin' hungry
Searchin' for a pretty girl
