About Love Her

"Love Her" is a song written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil which was first a song for the American singing duo The Everly Brothers in 1963 as the b-side to "The Girl Sang the Blues" and was later recorded and released by the American pop group The Walker Brothers as their second single in 1965. The Walker Brother's version is notable as it is the first single the group recorded with Scott Walker as the lead singer. Previously John Walker has been the dominant vocalist. The song was produced by Nick Venet and arranged by the Phil Spector collaborator Jack Nitzsche, who gave the song a Wall of Sound treatment. "Love Her" became the group's first hit spending thirteen weeks on the UK Singles Chart and peaking at #20 in June. In 1971, the song was re-issued in the UK with the group's two UK #1 singles, The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore and Make It Easy on Yourself, as b-sides. The re-issued single did not chart.

Love her, and tell her each day
That girl needs to know, tell her so
Tell her everything I couldn't say
Like she's warm, and she's sweet, and she's fine

Whoah, love her
Like I should have done

And hold her, and show her you care
When her world is blue, see her through
Any time that she needs you, be there
By her side, be the guy, that I couldn't be

And love her
Like I should have done

Please, love her
Love her for me

Hold her, and show her you care
When her world is blue, see her through
Any time that she needs you, be there
By her side, be the guy, that I couldn't be

And love her
Yeah, come on
Love her
Love her for me
