About Are You There (With Another Girl)

"Are You There (with Another Girl)" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for American singer Dionne Warwick. Her version, released as a single on December 1965, eventually reached number 39 on the Billboard charts. It also appears as the 10th track on her album Here I Am (1965). Author Serene Domenic praised the song in the book Burt Bacharach Song by Song, writing of its "droning strings", "strange fret-sliding guitar", and orchestral crescendos which precede the Beatles' "A Day in the Life" (1967). He also speculates that the song influenced Beach Boys composer Brian Wilson for the Pet Sounds track "Let's Go Away for Awhile" (1966).

I hear the music coming out of your radio
Are you there with another girl instead of me?
I hear your laughter and there's something I've got to know
Are you there with another girl instead of me?

Well, I'm standing on your doorstep and I don't know what to do
Should I ring your doorbell or just walk away?
My friends all say that you were never true
Hiding in the shadows

I see two silhouettes in the back of your window shade
Are you there with another girl when I am gone?
I can't believe you'd break the promises that you made
If you're there with another girl, I can't go on

Oh, I only know I love you and I couldn't say goodbye
So if there's another, I don't want to know
If you should go, oh, I would surely die
Love requires faith, I've got a lot of faith but
I hear the music comin' out of your radio

Oh, I only know I love you and I couldn't say goodbye
So if there's another, I don't want to know
If you should go, oh, I would surely die
You would never leave me, hurt me or deceive me
I'm a fool to doubt you, worry so about you
Love requires faith, I've got a lot in me but
I hear the music coming out of your radio

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
