About I Saw Her Again

"I Saw Her Again" is a pop song recorded by the U. S. vocal group The Mamas & the Papas in 1966. Co-written by band members John Phillips and Denny Doherty, it was released as a single in June 1966 (WLS played it most of that month) and peaked at number one on the RPM Canadian Singles Chart, number 11 on the UK Singles Chart, and number five on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart the week of July 30, 1966. It appeared on their eponymous second album in September 1966. One of three songs co-written by the two male members of the group (the others being "Got a Feelin'" and "For the Love of Ivy"), "I Saw Her Again" was inspired by Doherty's brief affair with Michelle Phillips, then married to John Phillips, which, combined with an affair between Michelle Phillips and Gene Clark of The Byrds, resulted in the brief expulsion of Michelle from the group. While mixing the record, engineer Bones Howe punched in the coda vocals too early, inadvertently including Denny's false start on the third chorus ("I saw her..."). Despite attempting to correct the error, the miscued vocal could still be heard on playback. Producer Lou Adler liked the effect and told Howe to leave it in the final mix. Lou Adler has said that this song was specifically done to try and capture the flavor of what the Beatles had been doing, and that it was intentionally written to be a single. more »

I saw her again last night And you know that I shouldn't To string her along's just not right If I couldn't I wouldn't But what can I do, I'm lonely too And it makes me feel so good to know You'll never leave me  I'm in way over my head Now she thinks that I love her Because that's what I said Though I never think of her But what can I do, I'm lonely too And it makes me feel so good to know You'll never leave me  Every time I see that girl You know I want to lay down and die But I really need that girl Don't know why I'm livin' a lie It makes me want to cry  I saw her again last night And you know that I shouldn't To string her along's just not right If I couldn't I wouldn't But what can I do, I'm lonely too And it makes me feel so good to know You'll never leave me  But what can I do, I'm lonely too And it makes me feel so good to know You'll never leave me  Every time I see that girl You know I want to lay down and die But I really need that girl Don't know why I'm livin' a lie It makes me want to cry  I saw her again last night And you know that I shouldn't To string her along's just not right If I couldn't I wouldn't  I'm in way over my head Now she thinks that I love her Because that's what I said
