With A Girl Like You - Troggs, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
With A Girl Like You (Troggs, The, 1966). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-04-25. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"
"With A Girl Like You," written by lead vocalist Reg Presley, was the Troggs second release and second top 40 hit rising to no. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1966 (Whitburn, 2013) and hit no. 1 in their home country the UK (R. Unterberger, allmusic.com, 2022). Presley stated: "I wrote that song while I was still a bricklayer. We recorded it at the same time as Wild Thing and either of them could have been released first. I liked the way The Beach Boys were going 'Ba-ba-ba-Barbara Ann' and it was lovely to do something like that in With A Girl Like You. We nearly had a trumpet playing it, but it sounded better when we sang it" (Kutner & Leigh, "1000 UK Number One Hits," 2005):

Lyrics:
I want to spend my life with a girl like you
Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
And do all the things that you want me to
Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
'Till that time has come that we might live as one
Can I dance with you
Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
I can tell by the way you dress that you're so refined
Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
And by the way you talk that you're just my kind
Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
Girl why should it be that you don't notice me
Can I dance with you
Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
Baby baby, is there no chance
I can take you for the last dance
All night long, yeah, I've been waiting
Now there'll be no hesitating
So before this dance has reached the end
Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
To you across the floor my love I'll send
Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
I just hope and pray that I'll find a way to say
Can I dance with you
Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
