Put Your Head On My Shoulder Lyrics – Paul Anka

Put Your Head On My Shoulder

Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me oh-so-tight
Show me that you love me too

Put your lips next to mine, dear
Won’t you kiss me once, baby?
Just a kiss goodnight, maybe
You and I will fall in love (you and I will fall in love)

People say that love’s a game
A game you just can’t win
If there’s a way
I’ll find it someday
And then this fool will rush in

Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear, tell me
Tell me that you love me too (tell me that you love me too)

Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear, baby
Put your head on my shoulder

About Paul Anka

Paul Albert Anka, in full Paul Albert Anka, (born July 30, 1941, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada), Canadian-born American singer and songwriter whose wholesome pop songs gained wide popularity in the late 1950s and whose diverse songwriting skills led to hits for artists including Tom Jones and Michael Jackson.

Her parents were Lebanese and Syrian immigrants to Canada who owned a popular Ottawa restaurant that was frequented by local entertainers. His friends and he formed a local Ottawa vocal group called the Bobbysoxers as a teen, where he learned guitar and piano.

The New York-based musician traveled to the city to record his music in 1957. A recording contract was quickly offered to him after he performed his original song, “Diana,” for an ABC/Paramount Records executive. In the end, “Diana” sold over 20 million copies. “Lonely Boy” (1959), “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” (1959), and “Puppy Love” (1960), inspired by his girlfriend Annette Funicello, continued Aka’s success. Among the films Aka starred in were Girls Town (1959) and Look in Any Window (1961), both aimed at teenage audiences. His role was that of an Army Ranger in the war film The Longest Day (1962), for which he also composed the theme music. The taste of young people in popular music began to shift toward rock and roll and away from the pop music he was known for. As a nightclub performer, he performed at New York’s Copacabana, Las Vegas’ Sands, and Los Angeles’ Coconut Grove.
