Originally done by the Evergreen Blues (Mercury 72756) earlier in 1968; the Grass Roots' arrangement is more-or-less a note-for-note copy of theirs.

Verse 1:
The sound of your footsteps
Telling me that you're near
Your soft gentle motion, baby
Brings out the need in me that no-one can hear, except
Chorus:
In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to [N.C.] I love you
Bridge:
But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
I'm wasting my time
[repeat first four bars of intro, then 2/4 bar w/snare on 2]
Verse 2:
Staggering through the daytime Your image on my mind Passing so close beside you baby Sometimes the feelings are so hard to hide, except
[repeat chorus]
Horn break:
