Escrita por Brian Wilson,
foi gravada em 30 de abril de 1965 e lançada
pelos Beach Boys em junho de 1965 no disco Summer days (And summer
nights). E tambem em um compacto em dezembro de 1965, que tinha
Barbara Ann no Lado A.
Foi
uma das primeiras canções a ter Carl Wilson como vocalista
principal e também uma das primeiras canções dos Beach Boys a não
ter backing vocals. É uma das primeiras cancões em que Bruce
Johnston participou como membro dos Beach Boys.
Sua
estrutura é comparada à Ticket to ride, dos Beatles, por causa da
guitarra e da bateria. Na Gravação, Bruce Johnston tocou celesta,
Brian Wilson tocou baixo, Carl Wilson tocou as guitarras e cantou e
Dennis Wilson tocou bateria. Ron Swallow tocou pandeiro como músico
convidado.

regravada por Keith Green, Tony Rivers and The Castways, The
Smithereens, Truly, Souvenir, Al Jardine, entre outros.
A
letra:
Hi little
girl, it's me
Don't you know who I am?
I met you last summer when
When I came up to stay with my grand
I'm the guy-uy-uy who
Left you with tears in his eyes
You didn't answer my letters
So I figured it was just a lie
Your hair's getting longer and your shorts
Mmm they sure fit you fine
I'll bet you went out
Every night during ol' school time
But this ti-I-ime I'm not gonna count on you
I'll see you this summer
And forget you when I go back to school
Girl Don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write me again this time
Hi little girl, it's me
Don't you know who I am?
I met you last summer when
When I came up to stay with my grand
Said I'm the guy-uy-uy who
Left you with tears in his eyes
You didn't answer my letters
So I figured it was just a lie
Girl Don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write me again this time
Girl don't tell me you'll write me again this time
Don't you know who I am?
I met you last summer when
When I came up to stay with my grand
I'm the guy-uy-uy who
Left you with tears in his eyes
You didn't answer my letters
So I figured it was just a lie
Your hair's getting longer and your shorts
Mmm they sure fit you fine
I'll bet you went out
Every night during ol' school time
But this ti-I-ime I'm not gonna count on you
I'll see you this summer
And forget you when I go back to school
Girl Don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write me again this time
Hi little girl, it's me
Don't you know who I am?
I met you last summer when
When I came up to stay with my grand
Said I'm the guy-uy-uy who
Left you with tears in his eyes
You didn't answer my letters
So I figured it was just a lie
Girl Don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write me again this time
Girl don't tell me you'll write me again this time
