According to the liner notes of the _Brill Building Sound_ box set, this
was originally intended for Neil Sedaka, who even got as far as recording
his own voice over the instrumental track.  Wonder if the track was sped
up from F (or slowed down from G) to better accommodate Gene's range?

Though it hurts I must pretend
The only way to keep her
Is keep it to myself
