Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)
By: Edison Lighthouse
(Barry Mason - Tony Macaulay)
1970

She ain't got no money
Her clothes are kinda funny
Her hair is kinda wild and free
Oh but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

She talks kinda lazy
And people say she's crazy
And her life's a mystery
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine
And I just gotta say (hey!)
She's really got a magical spell
And it's working so well
That I can't get away

I'm a lucky fella
And I just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine
And I just gotta say (hey!)
She's really got a magical spell
And it's working so well
That I can't get away

I'm a lucky fella
And I just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

Fadeout:
It keeps growing every place she's been
And nobody knows like me
If you've met her, you'll never forget her
And nobody knows like me
La la la- believe it when you've seen it
(Nobody knows like me)

 

ANDY RATING:

One of the few bubblegum songs still being played on AM "oldie" shows and a song worthy of that honor. Rockin' and funky at the same time, it was a crossover bubblegum to pop hit

 

NOTES:

. . . British "singer-for-hire" Tony Burrows had five "one-hit wonder" hits in a five year span with this song, Beach Baby with First Class, Gimme Dat Ding with the Pipkins, United We Stand with The Brotherhood Of Man, and My Baby Loves Lovin' with White Plains . . . "with" generally meant solo Tony "with" a fabricated group name . . . the song features producer Tony Macaulay's signature string and brass arrangement . . . check out The Fountations for reference . . . Tony's solo career stalled but produced at least one stellar song, Every Little Move She Makes . . .
