Which popular song do these lyrics come from?

Note, I'm older vintage, so the songs I know are from around the 1960's

"without letter B"

"not so mellow"

"So why'd it have to be...?"

"....find myself wanting...."

"picture upon somebody's shelf"

"but even so"

"perpetual mirth"

"hard to make love pay"

. . . . . . answers in subsequent post, soon.

Add your own.

ok, nobody wants to play. bo-hoo, I'm gonna take my ball and go home.

No, really folks, here are the answers. . . . . . .

"without letter B" 'Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum

"not so mellow" Axis Bold As Love, Jimi Hendrix

"So why'd it have to be...?" Tell Him, by the Exciters (one of the world's first music videos)

"....find myself wanting...." You Send Me, by the superb Sam Cooke

"picture upon somebody's shelf" "Jack of Hearts, by Bob Dylan.

"but even so" Love Hurts by the Everly Brothers. Check out a version on Youtube sung by Nora Jones and Keith Richards. Precious!

"perpetual mirth" Let it Roll, by George Harrison

"hard to make love pay" Losing End, by Niel Young

Now your turn.

'when we first met...'

'when I hold onto you'

'don't you know'

'where do we go'

Honest opinion, I think you're making it too hard. Not enough content of the lyrics to differentiate between songs.

For example, I listened to a version of "You send me" today, and I didn't get the song, from the snippet provided.

Good luck though, interesting concept.
