Tommy James & The Shondells
 Gettin' together is better than ever
 Gettin' together
 I am so happy baby
 Now that you are my lady
 We can hold hands together
 Every day, come what may
 I promise you I'll
 Always give you my lovin' always
 You can depend on me girl
 All the time, rain or shine
 You're gonna love it
 I'm gonna love it
 Day time, night time
 Your time, my time
 Gettin' together is better than ever
 Gettin' together never felt like this before
 Gettin' together is better than ever
 Gettin' together
 You bring me new excitement
 I never knew what night meant
 We got a thing together very few ever know
 You can be sure of one thing
 All of the love that I bring
 I'm gonna keep you happy
 All the time rain or shine
 You're gonna love it
 I'm gonna love it
 Day time, night time
 Your time, my time
 Gettin' together is better than ever
 Gettin' together never felt like this before
 Gettin' together is better than ever
 Gettin' together
 Gettin' together is better than ever
 Gettin' together never felt like this before
 Gettin' together is better than ever
 Gettin' together
