I.O.I.O.Bee Gees

Songwriter: Barry Gibb Maurice Gibb

Producer: Colin Petersen Vince Melouney Maurice Gibb Barry Gibb Robert Stigwood

[Chorus]
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
I O, I I I I I I O, I O

[Verse 1]
You know I love getting up in the morning
When the sun first strikes the trees
All the morning birds that sing above
Still bring back memories

Of a girl who stood beside me
When the rights I did were wrong (wrong)
But she went back down the river
Just when I thought I could be strong
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing

[Bridge]
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
I O, I I I I I I O, I O

[Verse 2]
She never told me why she left me
But the letter said goodbye (bye)
Now my mornings are for wondering
And my nights to reason why

Why a stranger comes to steal the love
Of a girl I had to hold
But she went back down the river
Just when I thought I could be strong
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing

[Chorus - Var.1]
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
I sing, I O, I I I I I I O, I O
I sing, I O, I I I I I I O, I O

[Outro]
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
I O, I I I I I I O, I O
I O, I I I I I I O, I O

Bee Gees

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
