"What's on Your Mind," by Joey & The Teenagers

Ahh...1950s doo wop. Always a solid source of songs with spoken words!

This installment comes courtesy of Joey & The Teenagers, an off-shoot of one of the earliest successes in rock music. Like a lot of teen music from the 50s, it's a whole lot of "I like her and I miss her but I don't know what she's thinking." Have you tried something novel: asking?

My darling
What is on your mind?
Why do you always keep me in the dark? 
Maybe one day, I'll know and understand
When I hold your hand in mine
What's on you your mind.
