That's What I Like About You

This was originally recorded in 1957 by composers Don F. Harris and Dewey Terry as "Don and Dewey," but the single didn't chart. Dale Houston and Grace Broussard were teamed up specifically to record this as Dale's solo career fell flat. This was #1 in the US on the day that John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Their followup song, "Stop and Think It Over," sung in a similar vein, peaked at #8. In 1974, this was a #4 hit for Donny and Marie Osmond as "I'm Leaving It All up to You."

I'm leavin' it all up to you
To decide what you're gonna do
Now, do you want my love?
Or are we through?

That's why I'm leaving it up to you
To decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love?
Or are we through?

My heart in my hand
I, I, I don't understand
What have I, what have I done wrong?
You know I worship the ground you walk on

I'm leavin' it all up to you
To decide what you're gonna do
Now, do you want my love?
Or are we through?

Or are we through?
Or are we through?
