New Lovers is a good song. It appealed to me when I listened to it. I'm not ready to put it in my top ten just yet, but I'll keep listening. Who knows.

Since you like that, you definitely need to listen to this:

It's Come On Take A Chance by Gene McDaniels (1961). It's definitely in my top ten. I grew up listening to this one, so of course it's going to be special to me. It's the flip side of A Hundred Pounds Of Clay.

I've never heard that before, but I prefer it to the A side.

The lyrics of this one are full of newsmakers and celebrities. In later versions, the reference to Premier Patrice Lumumba of Congo LĂ©opoldville was cut out following his murder in January, 1961, but this is the original.
