Drifters, The - Follow Me Lyrics






I'm getting tired of doing nothing, wasting time
(Do do do)
I know there's gotta be a new place
I can find, yeah

Somewhere, where I'll be free and satisfied
(Yes)
But, baby, I will need you by my side
(Oh)
Oh, can't you hear me calling you
Calling you, calling you

Follow me, yeah
(Follow me)
I've got two arms as strong as iron, holding you
(Do do do)
And with these arms, I wanna do things
Yes, I do

I wanna be a someone in this town
(Yes)
But someone's always trying to put me down
(Oh)
Oh, can't you hear me calling you
Calling you, calling you

Follow me
(Follow me, follow me)
I've found somewhere to go
(Follow me)
We'll be happy there, I know

We'll dance and sing, everything
We'll have a good time together
Just you wait and see

We gotta pack our bags and leave here, right away
(Do do do)
If we don't catch the next bus, baby
We might stay, yeah

And that would be the end of me, I know
(Yes)
So, come on, baby grab your things, let's go
(Oh)
Oh, can't you hear me calling you
Calling you, calling you

Follow me
(Follow me)
Follow me, yeah
(Follow me)
Oh, can't you hear me calling you
Calling you, calling you

Follow me
(Follow me)
Oh, you got to follow me

    But at the time they were on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart with "Follow Me"; it was at #96, the following week it moved up to #91 and that was its peak position on the chart and third & final week on the Top 100...
    Both "On Broadway" and "Up on the Roof" reached the Top 10 in 1963; "On Broadway" peaked at #9 {for 2 weeks} on April 21st, 1963 and "Up on the Roof" reached #5 {for 1 week} on February 3rd, 1963...

    On this day in 1965 {June 28th} the New York City disc jockey Murray the K's television special, 'It's What's Happening, Baby!', was aired on the CBS-TV network...
    One of the eighteen acts to appear on the show were the Drifters; at the time the group's "Follow Me" was in its first week on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #98, the following week was at #96, and then on its third and final week on the chart it peaked at #91...
    Between 1954 and 1966 the group had thirty-six Top 100 records; four made the Top 10 with one reaching #1, "Save the Last Dance for Me" for three weeks in 1960...
    They just missed having a second #1 record when "There Goes My Baby" peaked at #2* {for 1 week} in 1959...
    * The week “There Goes My Baby” peaked at #2, the #1 record for that week was “A Big Hunk O’ Love" by Elvis Presley...

    The poor latter-day Drifters! After their heyday in the early 1960s and their last big hit, "Saturday Night at the Movies," they put out record after record, and many of these records were quite good, like this one, but none of them clicked with the record-breaking public. What they needed was a more Motown-like sound, like the Jive Five used in "I'm a Happy Man," or the Manhattans had on Carnival, but Atlantic couldn't realize that.

    R.... ....

    You utter dimwit!
