這首歌最早是由The Shirelles於1961推出，並獲得了不錯的成績（錢櫃百大排名第八），以致於大牌如The Beatles(披頭合唱團)也經常於台上演唱這首歌，並且終於在1963將之收錄於其專輯之內。The Beatles演譯此首歌曲除了比較具有搖滾味外，其餘部份和原唱仍是大同小異。

 

有趣的事情來了，1969又有Smith樂團翻唱此曲，其版本竟然更受大眾歡迎，錢櫃最高排名曾到達第五位。所以，單就此曲而論，可以說是Smith打敗了The Beatles。可惜的是，Smith除了此曲，並未再有其他較為精彩的作品，而被視為One-Hit-Wonder（一曲樂團）。

 

我聽Smith的版本，感覺節奏較為強烈，歌者深情又高亢的聲音再加上電子琴幽揚的旋律，也是當年我非常喜歡的西洋歌曲。很難得，我選擇了現場演唱版，除了結尾被簡化之外，其他都還沒什麼失真，而且，真的唱的很棒，值得多聽幾遍。

 

另，林憶蓮也曾翻唱此歌，歌名為「由你開始」，是一首粵語歌。

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...
