About Can't You See That She's Mine

Written by Dave Clark and Mike Smith, it reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the week of 18 July 1964. In the UK, the single rose to number 10 in June 1964. It was the Dave Clark Five's fourth Gold Record. The middle four bars start with the lyric "People talk and try to break us up.

Oh, can't you see that she's mine
 We've been together for a long long time
 And yet they try so very hard to pull us apart
 But we don't care what they say
 We're gonna keep on lovin' this way
 Cause if they break us up
 You know it'll only break my heart
 And don't you know I love her so
 And I'll never, never, never let her go
 No matter what the people may say or try to do
 Cause can't you see that she's mine
 We've been together for a long long time
 And it'll stay that way
 Because I know she loves me too
 People talk and try to break us up
 When they know they don't understand
 But I don't care what the people may say
 I'm gonna keep on holdin' her hand
 Can't you see that she's mine
 We've been together for a long long time
 And yet they try so very hard to pull us apart
 But we don't care what they say
 We're gonna keep on lovin' this way
 Cause if they break us up
 You know it'll only break my heart

 Don't you know I love her so
 And I'll never, never, never let her go
 No matter what the people may say or try to do
 Cause can't you see that she's mine
 We've been together for a long long time
 And it'll stay that way
 Because I know she loves me too
 And it'll stay that way
 Because I know she'll love me too
