“Baby It's You“ is a song written by Burt Bacharach (music), Luther Dixon (credited as Barney Williams),and Mack David (lyrics). It was recorded by the Shirelles and the Beatles and was a hit for both. The highest-charting version of “Baby It's You“ was by the band Smith, who took the track to number 5 on the US charts in 1969. Smith's version appeared on their debut album, A Group Called Smith. The single was released on Dunhill Records in 1969. It was their first and most successful release. This version, arranged by Del Shannon who “discovered“ the group, alters the traditional vocal arrangement as performed by the Shirelles and the Beatles in favor of a more belted, soulful vocal.[citation needed] The single hit number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was ranked number 28 in Billboard's year-end chart of 1969.[21] The Smith version was used in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. Lyrics It's not the way you smile that touched my heart It's not the way you kissed that tears me apart Many, many, many nights go by I sit alone at home and cry over you What can I do? Don't want nobody, nobody Cause, baby, it's you Baby, it's you Is it true what they say about you? They say you'll never, ever, never be true It doesn't matter what they say I know I'm gonna love you any old way What can I do? What 'bout you? Don't want nobody, nobody Baby, it's you Baby, it's you Baby It doesn't matter what they say I know I'm gonna love any old way What can I do? What 'bout you? Don't want nobody, nobody Baby, it's you Baby, it's you Don't leave me alone Come on home Baby, it's you Baby, it's you You know I need your lovin' You know I love you Baby, it's you Baby...
