You Showed Me - Turtles, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

You Showed Me (Turtles, The, 1969). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-05-22. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"

"You Showed Me," written by The Byrds' members Gene Clark and Roger McGuinn, was the Turtles' fifth and last top 10 hit rising to no. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1969 (Whitburn, 2013). The song as originally written was an uptempo number; however, Bassist Chip "Douglas first demonstrated [the song] for The Turtles' vocalists Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman on a harmonium with a broken bellows, requiring him to play the song slowly. The slower tempo impressed Kaylan and Volman and consequently," The Turtles' recorded the slower version (liquisearch, 2022).

Lyrics:

You showed me how to do
Exactly what you do
How I fell in love with you
Oh, oh, oh, it's true
Oh, oh, I love you

You showed me how to say
Exactly what you say
In that very special way
Oh, oh, oh, it's true
You fell for me too

And when I tried it
I could see you fall
And I decided
It's not a trip at all

You taught it to me too
Exactly what you do
And now you love me too
Oh, oh, oh, it's true
We're in love we too

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Oh oh oh oh oh
We're in love we two
We two

You showed me how to do
Exactly what you do
How I fell in love with you
(You...)

Showed me how to say
Exactly what you say
In that very special way
(You...)

Taught it to me too
Exactly what you do
And now you love me too
Now you love me too
