此曲「應該」是美國歌手兼詞曲作家Tommy Roe所寫。知名的版本包含Roe的同鄉---亞特蘭大的合唱團體The Tams、英國歌手Tommy Quickly、美國歌手Jimmy Hughes以及澳洲樂團MPD Limited。另，牙買加歌手Derrick Harriott則是將歌名改為《Walk The Streets》推出。




1964年底，Tommy Roe在英國發行了自己的版本，但有人認為Jimmy Hughes ( 亂談759 ) 才是最早錄唱此曲的歌手。這個爭論似不具何意義，反正這首歌不怎麼紅，也未進入排行榜。

如歌曲所述，在愛情的世界中，常會出現一種情況：甲男愛乙女愛得要死，乙女卻偏偏愛上個像是浪子的丙男，丙男離開多年後返鄉，發現乙女還是嫁給了甲男，這是美國電影中經常會出現的戲碼。所以，You might as well forget him，這樣的勸說法，應該還是會有效果。倘若你目前的處境像甲男，還是可以好好地加油啦！



聽到這種節奏，彷彿又回到自己還在彈吉他的時光。


YOU WALK THE STREETS AT NIGHT, LOOKING FOR SOMEONE,
LOOKING FOR SOMEONE, YOU'LL NEVER FIND
OH, DARLING, YOU MIGHT AS WELL FORGET HIM
FOR HE'S GONE, HE SAID HIS LAST, GOODBYE
I WISH YOU HAD LISTENED WHEN YOU FIRST MET HIM,
I TRIED TO MAKE YOU REALIZE,
HE DIDN'T FEEL THE SAME FOR YOU,
BUT STILL YOU THOUGHT HE WAS YOUR GUY,
NOW YOU KNOW THE PAIN, OH THAT LOVE CAN BRING,
HE'S GONE, YOU MIGHT AS WELL FORGET HIM
NOW YOU KNOW THE PAIN, OH THAT LOVE CAN BRING,
HE'S GONE, YOU MIGHT AS WELL FORGET HIM
YOU MIGHT AS WELL FORGET HIM, HE'S GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE,
FORGET HIM, BABY FORGET HIM, COME ON, FORGET HIM, ETC..
