About The Song
Released in 1965, “I Go to Pieces” was a heartfelt ballad that captured the essence of heartbreak and longing. The song, originally penned by Del Shannon, found new life in the hands of the British duo, Peter & Gordon. With their distinctive harmonies and Peter Asher’s soulful vocals, they transformed the track into a poignant and memorable anthem.
The lyrics painted a vivid picture of emotional turmoil, expressing the overwhelming pain of losing a loved one. The refrain, “I go to pieces when I think of you,” echoed the singer’s deep-seated sorrow. The song’s melancholic melody, combined with the duo’s heartfelt delivery, resonated with listeners, making it a top ten hit in the United States.
“I Go to Pieces” marked a significant departure from Peter & Gordon’s previous releases, which were primarily composed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

It remains a beloved classic, a testament to the enduring power of music to touch the soul and evoke profound emotions.
Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
I get so shaky and I feel so weak
I tell my eyes look the other way
But they don’t seem to hear a word I sayAnd I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by
I tell my arms they’ll hold someone new
Another love that will be true
But they don’t listen, they don’t seem to care
They reach for her but she’s not there
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by
I remember what she said when she said
Goodbye baby. We’ll meet again soon maybe
But until we do, all my best to you
I’m so lonely, I think about her only
I go to places we used to go
But I know she’ll never show
She hurt me so much inside
Now I hope she’s satisfied
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by
Go to pieces and I cry
Everytime my baby passes by
Go to pieces and I cry
