The Cryan Shames' version of this song seems familiar...I think it was on the original vinyl LP edition of "Nuggets", which I bought when I was a senior in high school.

But that was a really long time ago, so maybe I'm totally wrong!

And 2 more:"The One Who Really Loves You"(from 1962 by the late Mary Wells) and "Mixed-Up,Shook-Up Girl"("I'm a mixed-up,shook-up Girl,... Over You" )from 1964 by Patty and the Emblems.
