    This song has meant so much to me over the years…. I was just playing my own version and suddenly broke down crying remembering my brother Frank and I listening to it years ago in our teens. He just passed away Easter 2023. So much depth and heart in this simple ballad. Thank you Big Star

I am proud to say this song still soothes me into a gentle melloncolly state of mind. Thankyou Big Star for everything! A appreciative Memphis fan from way back. Long live Overton Square and Ardent! 😉

I was listening to this song the whole time, when I felt in love with her. Thanks Alex Chilton and Chris Bell for this masterpiece. Rest In Peace. ⭐️🌟

    [Verse 1]
    Won't you let me walk you home from school?
    Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
    Maybe Friday I can get tickets for the dance
    And I'll take you, ooh-hoo
    [Verse 2]
    Won't you tell your dad get off my back?
    Tell him what we said about "Paint It, Black"
    Rock and roll is here to stay, come inside, well, it's okay
    And I'll shake you, ooh-hoo
    [Verse 3]
    Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
    Would you be an outlaw for my love?
    If it's so, then let me know, if it's no, then I can go
    I won't make you, ooh-hoo

    Me and my two sister wives are now divorced. We played three songs at our wedding.
    “Thirteen” Big Star

    “Starsailor” Tim Buckley
    In that order, they summed up the course of our failed romance.
