I live on the West side, she lives on the East side of the stree-ee-eet
And though they say that East is East and West is West
And never the twain shall meet
Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be
'Cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
Is Mecca (Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca (Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e.
Oh she's my dream goddess and her ruby lips are so div-i-ine
And though her folks say we're too young to know of love
I worship at her shrine
Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be
'Cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
Is Mecca (Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca (Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e.
Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be
'Cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
Is Mecca (Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca (Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e.

Now, THAT is melodramatic !!!
Thank you! I never could figure out what kind of goddess she was! I thought it was "Queen Goddess" which didn't make sense...
Here in Maine, in the mid 60's, we had a rock band that signed a national contract with SMASH Records, a subsidiary of MERCURY. They were the BARRACUDAS. The b-side of their only single was "No Matter What You Do" written by Gene Pitney. The band & song sound just like The Buckinghams!! Anyway, I've never heard Gene's version or if he ever even recorded it himself. The song was test-marketed in Chicago I think, but nothing ever came of it...
