Connie Francis Sings Second Hand Love, 1962
Written by Barry Mann and Gerry Goffin, probably?
Wikipedia says this song is by Marvin Gaye, but it's clearly not; his song is totally different. This song's lyrics are decidedly not Gaye's style: "Meet me at the car hop or at the pop shop / Meet me in the moonlight or in the daylight." It's definitely a puppy love song of its time. I find it quite charming, the spritely tempo, spritely organ, soft backing vocals, and Francis's cheery, bubbly voice urging carpe diem: "Now is just the time, while both of us are young."
