Lyrics:
I got a certain little girl she's on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad

Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(Love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it

She's got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat and I can't sleep

Listen
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(Love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it

I'm a guy born in 1992, but I love all classic rock music. 🥰

One of the countless songs that I inexorably link to childhood memories with my Dad, THE greatest father a kid could ask for. He's 83 and when I stream this through his BOOM, he jumps off the couch and starts playing his air guitar.

So Dad, this one goes out to you! From your "little knuckleheads", Theresa, Timmy, Eric, Donovan, Brady, Scotty and Nick.

Truly, one of the great rock classics. It has all the elements.

Yep had to come here after hearing this in once upon a time in Hollywood. This has always been a great driving song. Love how Quentin Tarantino uses the perfect songs for his scenes.

I was -54 when this dropped. Now I'm 20 and it still takes me back to those days. RiP Dick Johnson, you were the best field medic.

[retroboy-fhji]

This song is better than Smoke on the Water and yet still is more underrated. A completely shame because is an awesome piece of music

[DCHurlford]

Jon Lord's organ solo was one of his finest moments, the way it builds and the execution of the

[anonymouskat]

Heard this today for the first time since my high school days.
I immediately remembered the lyrics, and felt like I was sixteen again.
The organist is totally killing it.

One of the greatest songs of all time.

[michaelwolfe]

One of the best organ solos I've ever heard. RIP Jon Lord.

[tarasdovhyi]

Rest in piece Spec Ops The Line, thank you for good memories.

[Astoria]

One of the best rock songs in Rock history. If any of you remember this. Back in the 60’s, Hugh Hefner had a night show and Deep Purple played this song. So cool! ♥️
