Joe Meek produced this track. He was in a group called The Tornadoes, whose "Telstar" hit #1 in 1962. The Honeycombs were a London band with a female drummer (Honey Lantree) who worked in a hairdressing salon... hence the band's name. They were previously known as the Sherabos. This was written by the London songwriting team of Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley. They also wrote songs for Lulu, Elvis Presley, The Herd (Peter Frampton's group), Petula Clark, Engelbert Humperdinck and many others. >>

Have I the right to hold you
You know I've always told you
That we must never ever part, oh oh oh oh

Have I the right to kiss you
You know I'll always miss you
I've loved you from the very start

Come right back I just can't bear it
I've got this love and I long to share it
Come right back I'll show my love is strong

Have I the right to touch you
If I could you'd see how much you
Send those shivers running down my spine, oh oh

Have I the right to thrill you
You know I'll wait until you
Give me the right to make you mine

Well, Come right back I just can't bear it
I've got this love and I long to share it
Come right back I'll show my love is strong, oh yeah
All right

Have I the right to hold you
You know I've always told you
That we must never ever part, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Have I the right to kiss you
You know I'll always miss you
I've loved you from the very start

Come right back I just can't bear it
I've got this love and I long to share it
Come right back I'll show my love is strong, oh yeah, yeah

Come right back I just can't bear it
I've got this love and I long to share it
Come right back right back where you belong, oh yeah
You belong, oh yeah, you belong
