[Verse 1]
I just met a woman on my way home, she just blew my mind
My heart was pumping, I mean all the way home
Got to know the woman
Whoa, I got to know the woman
I love the way you move
You make, make me feel like a man
(You know you make me, make me feel like a man)
Love the way you're looking
You look like you like it, too
(You know you look like you like it, too)

[Chorus][x7]
Got to know the woman
(Mama, mama, mama, mama, oom mow mow)

[Verse 2]
If you feel the feel I feel, you dig the feel of me
(You know you look like you dig feeling me)
Love the way you feel, dear
Ah, you make a, make a man out of me
(You make, you make a man out of me)
Come on, come on, come on and do the chicken

[Bridge]
I mean
Baby, I'm going to tell you something right now
You got so much soul you blow my mind
Oh baby, there's just one thing I want to say

[Chorus][x9]

The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys are one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time and the first American pop band to reach the 50-year milestone. Their vocal harmonies are among the most unmistakable and enduring of the rock and roll era.

Formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California, by Brian Wilson, his two brothers Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and classmate Al Jardine, the group’s first single “Surfin'” got them signed to Capitol Records and they quickly became one of the most popular and successful artists of the surf music craze of the 1960s. From 1962 to 1966, The Beach Boys scored over twenty top 40 hits in the US including the chart-toppers “I Get Around”, “Help Me Rhonda” & “Good Vibrations” along with the top 5’s “Surfin USA”, “Fun, Fun, Fun”, “California Girls”, “Barbara Ann” & “Sloop John B”. Several of the band’s singles also found top 40 success in Canada, Australia, Sweden and the UK. In 1965, de facto leader Brian Wilson suffered a mental breakdown due to the stress of writing, producing & touring combined with substance abuse issues, causing him to step down and stop traveling with the band on tour.

Inspired by producer Phil Spector and The Beatles' Rubber Soul, Brian focused on studio work, determined to keep the group relevant as the surf music scene was fading with their 1966 album Pet Sounds. Despite tension between members in the studio about this new direction, lack of faith from the record label, mixed reviews, and comparatively lukewarm reception initially in the US, the album still found massive success in the UK and earned accolades from fellow artists including The Beatles, who acknowledged that the album was their inspiration to further push the boundaries of pop music with their landmark album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Eventually Pet Sounds would be acknowledged as one of the greatest albums ever recorded by several media outlets like The Times, Mojo Magazine, The Guardian, VH1, BBC and Rolling Stone.
