    Default Solved: 60s/70s rock/pop song

    It is an upbeat song with a man singing. I could barely hear the words, so they could be wrong.

    It went something like this:

    Come on,
    Come on over here.
    You don't seem to love me like ____ ____ _____ (or 'don't seem as lucky as ______' or something similar)

    I know that seems impossible to find, but I remember the melody pretty well, and to hear it just copy and paste this next line:

    e'4. e'4 r4 b'8 b'4 b'8 dis'8 e'4 r4 b'8 b'4 b'4 gis'8 cis''4 b'4 gis'8 fis'4 e'8 e'4 e'8

    into the blank space below the music bar at this site and hit 'play.' I tried to get the rhythm right, and it's pretty close. The notes I am pretty sure are right on.

    The song kinda reminded me of songs like "Peace Frog" by the Doors or "Down on the Corner" by CCR. I know it wasn't CCR, though.

    Any help is really appreciated. I heard it on the radio in a store. I'm guessing it was an oldies station. The song on before it was "Sunshine Superman" by Donovan and the song right after was "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" by the Hollies... The song I'm looking for was similar to these, so maybe that can give you an idea.

    Wow! You deserve a medal. That's the song...

    I wasn't even expecting a reply since I was pretty sure I had all the words wrong.
