Let's Go Steady Again

Written by J.W. Alexander

Billboard Review: (with flip Only Sixteen): "Cooke treats both songs in easygoing attractive style. [ ], "Let's Go Steady" is a lush ballad on which he is given chorus backing. Either can figure.

Lyrics

you left me for a new love
you found out it wasn't a true love
now that he is gone
lets go steady one more time

please don't cry, you've got to be strong dear
I know he was wrong dear
but now that he's gone

I know he was wrong to come to the dance
with another girl the way that he did
I knew he was wrong when he took your love from me
after all he was once my best friend

Thats all in the past
let's forget you
he'll never hurt you I won't let him
now that he's gone
let's go steady one more time

(yes he was wrong to come to the dance
with another girl the way that he did
I knew he was wrong when he took your love from me
after all he was once my best friend

Thats all in the past
let's forget him
he'll never hurt you
I won't let him
now that he's gone
let's go steady one more time
