Not Fade Away Lyrics

Nothing like Gary Busey singing this on Celebrity Apprentice to make me finally realize how creepy this song is.

In the first verse he demands her love "I’m a-gonna tell you how it’s gonna be" and in the second admits that it isn't reciprocal "I try to show it and you drive a-me back". This isn't about a man and woman in love; it's the ravings of a spurned stalker.
