Del Shannon - I Go To Pieces Lyrics
When I see her comin' down the street
I get so shaky and I feel so weak
I tell my eyes to look the other way
But they don't seem to hear a word I say, and I
Go to pieces and I almost die
Every time my baby passes by
I tell my arms, they'll hold someone new
Another love that will be so true
But they won't listen, they don't seem to care
They reach for her but she's not there, and I
Go to pieces and I want to cry
Go to pieces and I almost die
I remember what she said when she said
"Goodbye baby, we'll meet again, soon maybe
But until we do, all my best to you"
I'm so lonely, think about her only
I go to places that we used to go
But I know she'll never show
She's hurt me so much inside
Now I hope that she is satisfied 'cause I
Go to pieces and I want to cry
Go to pieces and I almost die
Every time my baby passes by

Del Shannon I Go To Pieces Comments
One of the Greats from an era of Greats. His music will live forever!
This should have been the hit, it blows Peter and Gordon's version away and Del wrote it too.
I cried when I heard of his death. Sat on the couch while this song was playing.
Did Jeff Lynne help out on this?
A Michigan Legend!
HELLO... DEL SHANNON... WROTE THIS SONG!!!! ASSUME!!!
Wonderful, a tad better than Peter and Gordon, just a tad.
Still play Dels music a great artist will never grow old
Del Shannon was the link between R&R of the 50's and Rock of the 60's... and my 1st music influence at the time... RIP to a great musical artist...
Jou muziek gaat nooit verloren ,blijft mooi
Such an excellent, memorable song.
Ill never forget meeting you back stage. You signed an autograph for my girlfriend. Now your both gone ...miss you both......
same thing happened to me both are gone--how likely is that?
Such a wonderful man. My friend Sue and I saw him at the Grey Topper, Jacksdale, Notts in the 70's and were so impressed we followed him to another gig in Derby on same night! Absolute gent, bless him xxx
Del wrote this song
😎2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣😍🎵🎵🇺🇲👏
he is one of the best men lead singers==ever...
Love this version
Love the way he picks out those first eight notes. Love those chord changes too.
First time hearing Del sing his song, sounds Great!
Evokes so much emotion…
Wow! The added interlude makes all the difference between P&G’s and Del’s. Love both, but this one you can actually feel the pain of lost love.
Still makes me sad we lost such a good artist to suicide. Seems to be happening more now too.
He wrote Run Around Sue. Another great song. He was a living legend. Didn’t he know that??
DEL WROTE THIS SONG AND PETER AND GORDON CASHED IN WITH THE HIT. GIVE ME DEL'S SOUL VERSION ANYTIME, JUST SAYING.
He was great guy ,I have all his records since 1961 nothing better sure miss his singing rest in rip
So much raw emotion and such a brilliant songwriter.
This is a classic. Will live 4 ever
Ok she dumped me! Every time I saw her I went to pieces! What about the 100 that I dumped? I always thought I let them down gently? Guess what comes around goes around.
een van de deste nummers ooit
Del wrote some of the greatest classics like this. His voice with it's power and passion is unequalled by anybody. Loved by millions and sadly missed by millions. Especially me.
I go to pieces.
You listen to the words.
One thinks a person just couldn't make the words up to this song.
Mesmerising.
What a great voice !!!!
Just WONDERFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iconic,brilliant,under appreciated,never forgotten rock n' roll pioneer...Del Shannon
A big talent.
This might surpass the original I feel his voice in every word Thank you
Del wrote this and should have released it himself instead of giving it away. He sings it better than the pommy duo. Del, you were a genius with incredible vocals and I wish you were still here rocking on.
I love Del Shannon's songs, & didn't know until a yr or two ago that he wrote "Go to pieces". What a great singer & songwriter, & he left us way too soon, and way too tragically. We love & miss you Del, RIP. I wanted to post this "live version" of 'Go to pieces' that's also really good, if you haven't seen it, ck it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d24GoE1gGvI
I’m the only one who experienced this phenomenon?dont think so!
It’s the adranline kicking in! Makes you shake!
Have not we all gone to pieces when we see out ex?
Del is one of the best r.i.p
Good voice and tremendous talent.
One of a kind, you could feel what he sing
brilliant, a big influence for me , cheers mate j vincent edwards
One of my class-mates showed me the record he´d just bought "Hats off to Larry" and we dashed home to listen to it. From that time on I knew Del Shannon would be one of those few artists that would stay in our minds and hearts forever. Thank you Del Shannon!
Del Shannon was a song writer, guitar player, singer, and a performer. He was great in all phases. He could not this released originally and Peter & Gordon released it in England. They never rendered the depth, anguish, or regret that Del did in the way he wrote it and recorded it.
brilliant singer song writer thanks for this post j vincent edwards
EBEST SINGER EVER
I love del shannon what's not to love about him
I have always liked this tune - but man del Shannon lays it down - so much deep soul in the voice - I feel the pain in every word you don't that from m peter and Gordon
God Bless you : (
one of my favorites
Great cover of a great song!
Del wrote this song, so technically it's not a cover :)
No, it's a recover.
OMG how wonderful to have this pass through my life
Second version is so lovely , as well accurate , Bravo Del , love all your songs .... Live long , and don't give up !
Julian Konrad: Too little, too late for your wishes; he's long gone. RIP Del (C.W.)
I know, but his lirycs and tone will survive ! Peace my friend .
Amazing!
Del Shannon's music never gets old. Still sounds as beautiful as ever.

Sure does his music was brilliant 🎶🎼🎵🎶🎶🎶
should of stuck with rock n roll.not this country crap... ruined his career.
Its heartbreaking to know he gone, one in a million!!.
+Bob Bender when music had heart
I really can relate to del truly agreat talent!! rip if onlyhe knew how good he was! maybe his end would not has-been so tragic!!sig Dan kelleher!!
of this song brilliant album stic versionfanta
I think this is a 1989 re-recorded version which would have been a year or less before he died.
I always picked the girl s that. had. no interest in me to like!I guess self full I believe maybe the girls that like me had some wrong with them! be cause I did not like myself!! if only we could go back in time boy what I would do differently!! sig DanieL kelleher!!
I think so too, for the Rock On album released posthumous in 1991. Both versions are great, and both have their own sound of the periode, when it was released. Great song, love the piano in-between.
such a great old song
so sad he passed...............away:(
Great!!!!
One of the most beautiful sad songs ever written. God bless you Del Shannon.
He was a unique pre-Beatles electric guitar singer/songwriting talent-rare! Great post!
Best singer ever
+Thomas Andersen IYO!
the very best.
del Shannon-one of the best
Can't get tired of listening to that song ! ...
this is the best version of this song. easy as that:)))
@james atkinson as much as I respect Shannon's musicianship and songwriting, the Peter & Gordon version will remain the definitive version, IMO
james atkinson h
give a bit of credit to the composer
I would say Peter & Gordon's version is the best but give kudos to Del. He wrote it and it sounds pretty good too.
Simply magnifing rays of love ... Grew up listening to his ups-and downs brilliant tunes. DEL surely was one of the GREATEST who had the key to open emotions, thats why after decades his songs are still so precious ... always brought ... brings a tear drop. May his soul R.I.P.
This is a WONDERFUL version, beautifully produced.....A genius....
Del Shannon what a talent. I miss you.
I tell my arms they'll hold someone new
Another love that will be true
But they don't listen, they don't seem to care
They reach for her but she's not there
four of the greatest lines of lyrics ever written !
Me encanta!!!
Check out the recording by Southern Pacific acapella recording!
Check Del's duet with Nils Lofgren right here on YT.
My mistake I thought you meant this is a remake of Peter & Gordon. Dingbat back @ me..ha ...I got invited to go to see Del...Meet him talked. 1 week later he took his life. Great talent that got consumed in depression. Love this song...thx
This here is not the original version of it. Perhaps you're confused with his earlier version of it. But thanks for the clarification from 1 year ago.
Del Shannon wrote it and recorded it first....Dingbat!!! He shopped it around then Peter & Gordon recorded their incredible version. Songs are shopped by music publishers and sometimes songpluggers. Thx 4 posting.
What a talent. RIP
Awesome song, awesome performance
Del was the real deal
The greatest of them all!
this is my life in song I remember a girl IREALL y loved I went back to NY from Fla I really loved her!Anna and after I got the news of her being married to someone else she had me blocked and I guess she's for gotten me I waited to long and when I hear this song I can't stop thinking about her I never married again waiting for her I still have two watches from her and her picture s of her I still have feelings for her but I know she will never show or call me ever again so sad!! sig DANIEL kelleher veteran andformer male model
Yes he did. He is a musical wizard!
Del wrote this song for Peter & Gordon. It was a huge hit in 1965.
Saw him at Ritchies Nightspot in Preston (Melbourne, Australia)..fantastic act, unpretentious, just wonderful music. Great memories, thanks Del, taken way too soon.
Holy Shit a remake that matches the original !
So many great songs from one man! It's really sad to know that he shot hinself. RIP Del, we all loved you. xx
My depression song and then I listen to little runaway to rehabilitate
this is amazing .... never knew about this version.....GREAT !!!!!!!
I never heard this version before today, I adored Peter and Gordon's version, but just learned of Del's beautiful voice singing this. I grew up on the East Coast, maybe this was a West Coast version?? I enjoyed hearing this very much. RIP sweet Del. Loved all your other songs.
jeff lynne........is god
rockolav
