The song was written by Bob Dylan, Turtles covering it here. use of the electric 12 string guitar was very common in 1965/66. George Harrison of the Beatles started that in 1964. Girls went nuts.
Turtles omitted the last verse. Dylan did not write this as a break up song. One of his top protest songs. Go away from my window is the flag. Never weak but always strong To protect you and defend you He ain’t joining the military. (Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there) Melt back into the night babe, everything inside is made of Stone. (Statue of liberty) 3rd verse states Pick flowers for you constantly (poppies) Many more references I could state.
The Turtles did not write the song they sang it more beautifully than any other band I have heard. I grew up listening to this song as I was about ten years old and loved this song even before I knew what romance and love was.
Please react to: Grooving, It's A Beautiful Morning, People Got To Be Free, How Can I Be Sure, Good Loving, A Girl Like You,.........by The Rascals. Thank you so much!
Love the band, but! Bob Dylan is my number 1 Singer songwriter.l, Dylan wrote the tune. Dylan back then was a little more for the older teens, mind wise, especially with some of his complext lyrics. It was released in 64 by Dylan, by turtles in 65. To the Dylan hardcore the turtles version sounded cute. But still it was enjoyed. One can't resist the turtles up beat persona. Nice reaction once again.
The Turtles are a band deserving of much more attention than what they get. Thanks for your reactions.

Look up The Happenings "See you in September". It's a great song

They make it sound like love song, The venom of Dylan is missing

proof that Bob Dylan could write hit singles.. if you haven't reacted to it yet, another great Turtles song is Outside Chance, written by Warren Zevon
