The Knack - My Sharona Lyrics
Official




Ooh, my little pretty one, my pretty one
+
When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?
+
Ooh, you make my motor run, my motor run
+
Got it coming off of the line, Sharona
+
Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
+
I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind
+
My, my, my, I-I, whoa
+
M-m-m-my Sharona
+
Come a little closer, huh, a-will ya, huh?
+
Close enough to look in my eyes, Sharona
+
Keeping it a mystery, it gets to me
+
Running down the length of my thighs, Sharona
+
Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
+
I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind
+
My, my, my, I-I, whoa

When you gonna give to me, g-give to me?
+
Is it just a matter of time, Sharona?
+
Is it d-d-destiny, d-destiny
+
Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?
+
Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
+
I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind
+
My, my, my, I-I, whoa

M-m-m-m-m-m-m-my, my, my, I-I, whoa

My Sharona

"My Sharona" (/ʃəˈroʊnə/) is the debut single by the Knack. The song was written by Berton Averre and Doug Fieger, and it was released in 1979 from their debut album, Get the Knack. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, where it remained for six weeks, and was number one on Billboard's 1979 Top Pop Singles year-end chart.

When Doug Fieger was 25 years old, he met 17-year-old Sharona Alperin, who inspired a two-month-long run of songwriting, as well as eventually becoming his girlfriend for the next four years. Fieger recounted that:
"It was like getting hit in the head with a baseball bat; I fell in love with her instantly. And when that happened, it sparked something and I started writing a lot of songs feverishly in a short amount of time."

Fieger and Averre worked out the structure and melody of the song. Averre was originally averse to using Alperin's name in the song, but Fieger wanted it to be a direct expression of his feelings; Averre ultimately relented. Fieger claimed that "My Sharona" was written in 15 minutes; moreover, it was purportedly mixed in an additional 15 minutes after the recording of the song was made in a single take (not including background vocals).

Fieger and Alperin were engaged at one point but never married. In a 2005 interview, Fieger said that they remained "great friends"; additionally, she would visit him frequently as Fieger was dying of cancer. Alperin went on to have a successful career as a realtor in Los Angeles.

It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America, representing 1,000,000 copies sold, and was Capitol Records' fastest gold status debut single since the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" in 1964. It has since gone on to sell more than 10 million copies as of 2010.[8
