SIDE ONE (Track 04) - written by Frank Zappa and Ray Collins

"Freak Out!" is the mainstream debut of studio musician Frank Zappa and his band The Mothers of Invention. It is considered as one of the first concept albums in rock music, as well as being the second double-album (Bob Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde" being the first).

The album is notable for its satirical and experimental content that would be the bedrock of many Mothers albums (and future Zappa solo releases) to come.

Originally issued on Verve Records in June 1966.


LYRICS:

A year ago today...
Was when you went away...
But now you come back knocking on my door....
And you'll say you're back to say,
But I say...

"Go cry
On somebody else's shoulder.
I'm somewhat wiser now,
And one whole year older.
I sure don't need you now,
And I... don't... love you...
Anymore.

"You cheated me, baby,
And told some dirty lies about me.
Fooled around with all those other guys,
That's why I had to set you free.
I sure don't need you now,
And I... don't... love you...
Anymore."

Girl, a year ago today,
You went away.
And now you come back crying,
Crying, crying: "Please, let me in!"
But I don't need you.
No, I don't love you anymore.
So go lean on... go cry on
Somebody else's door.
Ooh... Mmm...

Go cry
On somebody else's shoulder.
I'm somewhat wiser now
And one whole year older.
I sure don't need you now,
And I... don't... love you...
Anymore.

Oh, my darling!
Go ahead and cry
Go ahead and let the tears fall outa your eye
Let 'em fall on your dress
Who cares if it makes a mess?
I gave you my high school ring
At the root beer stand
We had a teenage love, baby.
I thought it was sharp,
It was really so grand... but

You cheated me, baby,
And told some dirty lies about me.
Fooled around with all those other guys,
That's why I had to get my khakis pressed.
I sure don't need you now,
And I... don't... love you...
Anymore.

Baby, I love you so much, darling.
Why don't you dig me?
I dig you,
But you don't dig me!
I don't understand what it is.
I had my car re-upholstered,
I got my hair processed,
I got a nice pompadour job on it,
(Oh, my baby...)
I bought a new pair of shoes,
(Oh, my baby...)
I got some new khakis and I met you!
(Ah... Ah... Ah...)
And we went out to get a Coca-Cola...
(Ooh...)
