Sometimes I feel so worried
Sometimes I feel so sad
Thinking about my baby and the good times we had

You know it hurts me so, hurts me so
And I never wanted to let you go

Sometimes I feel so worried
Sometimes I feel so blue
Thinking 'bout my baby and the things we used to do

You know it hurts me so, hurts me so
And I never wanted to let you go

When you see me all alone you know

That you never wanted to let me go
But it's too late now
It doesn't matter how
I tried to get you back again

Sometimes I feel so worried
Sometimes I feel so blue
Thinking 'bout my baby and the things we used to do

You know it hurts me so, hurts me so
And I never wanted to let you go

Oh!
Let you go, baby
I never wanted to let you go

The Spencer Davis Group was a British rock band and part of the “British Invasion.” The are best known for their songs “Gimme Some Lovin'” and “I’m a Man,” and as the starting place for Stevie Winwood.

They were formed in 1963 in Birmingham, Wales by guitarist and singer Spencer Davis (b. Spencer Davies), with brothers Stevie (vocals, organ, piano) and Muff (bass) Winwood, and drummer Pete York. They began playing covers of American Blues and R&B, and quickly gained a following in the local music scene. They released their first single, a cover of the John Lee Hooker song “Dimples,” in 1965.

Later that year, they released their breakout single, “Gimme Some Lovin',” which reached #1 on the British charts. The song was notable for Winwood’s (who was only 19 at the time) soulful singing, which was so convincing the single was banned by several segregated radio stations in the US, who thought Linwood was black.
