The Kinks - You Really Got Me (Official Video)

Originally released on 4th August 1964, the band's 3rd single You Really Got Me went to number 1 on the UK singles chart and later in the year to number 7 in the US charts. The track is taken from the Kinks self-titled album "Kinks" released in the same year, which also features tracks including All Day And All Of The Night.

Lyrics:
Girl, you really got me goin'
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin'
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me

See, don't ever set me free
I always wanna be by your side
Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
Oh no...

[Solo]

See, don't ever set me free
I always wanna be by your side
Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me

I love this song so much! Best of the 1960s ❤

[dariowestern]

Good to see some younger people appreciating this British rock'n'roll anthem. Still sounds as rough and fresh as it did back in 1964.

[TerryOnTuesday]

Very proud to say I drew the cartoon characters for this!

Younger fan listening here, this song slaps harder than 90% of what's coming out today.

I have just watched all the through the Kinks live at the RockPalast 1982 what a terrific performance by the band Ray is one of the great frontman and brother Dave is a real powerhouse on guitar Mick Avory is such an integral part of the band and the other two members make them a tight unit. I am 73 and they were part of my growing up and are definitely in the top five of influential British bands l earnestly suggest that people watch this performance you will not regret it simply top notch
