We Cant Go On This Way

An almost-hit (#103 in _Billboard_) for the pride of Beverly, Massachusetts,

Teddy and the Pandas, in 1966. They continued recording for several years

after this, degenerating from primo garage punk into so-so knockoffs of the

Turtles and American Breed. --AWR

Verse 1:

Sugar is sweet but you're much sweeter

Flowers are pretty, but you're even prettier

Your love is warmer than a summer day

B A6 E A6 E [1: B]

But you're so young and we can't go on this way (oh no)

Verse 2:

You're the fruit of the tree in the Garden of Eden

I should keep away but I feel the need, and

My love goes stronger every day

But you're so young and we can't go on this way (oh no)

But I'll always remember
