Hello, I Love You

The Kinks threatened legal action when they noticed how similar the guitar riffs sounded to their own “All Day and All of the Night”. The Doors agreed without a lawsuit, and Dave Davies still gets royalties every time the song is played in the UK. "Hello, I Love You" is a song by The Doors from their 1968 album Waiting for the Sun. It was released as a single that same year, reaching #1 in the United States, and selling over a million copies in the U.S. alone. This was one of the six songs performed by Rick & the Ravens on the demo for Aura Records in 1965. Some pressings of the single list the title as Hello I Love You, Won't Tell Me Your Name?.

Hello, I Love You Lyrics The Doors [Chorus] Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game [Verse 1] She's walking down the street Blind to every eye she meets Do you think you'll be the guy To make the queen of the angels sigh? [Chorus] Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game [Verse 2] She holds her head so high Like a statue in the sky Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long When she moves my brain screams out this song Sidewalk crouches at her feet Like a dog that begs for something sweet Do you hope to make her see, you fool? Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel? [Outro] Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello I want you Hello I need my baby Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello... Produced By Paul A.
