Cherry, Cherry
Neil Diamond · Hot August Night Nyc (Uk Slipcase Pressing) [2009]
Oh, the girls out of sight, yeah
Says she loves me yes, yes she does
Oh, gonna show me tonight, yeah
Chorus:
Hey, she got the way to move me Cherry
(She got the way to groove me)
(She got the way to move me)
Cherry baby
Alright
Tell your Mama girl I can't stay long
We got things we gotta catch up on
Mmm, I know you know what I'm sayin
Can't stand still while the music is playin
Alright
Ain't got no right no, no you don't
Ahh, to be so exciting
Won't need bright lights no, no we won't
Oh, gonna make our own lighting
Chorus:
Hey, she got the way to move me Cherry
(She got the way to groove me) Cherry baby
(She got the way to move me) Alright
(She got the way to groove me)
No, won't tell a soul where we gone to
Girl we do whatever we want to
Ahh, I love the way that you do me
Cherry baby you really get to me
Repeat chorus to fade....
Cherry, Cherry
Neil Diamond's 'Cherry, Cherry' stands as a quintessential example of his late-career pop sensibility, blending smooth vocal delivery with lush orchestration. Recorded for the 2009 compilation Hot August Night Nyc, the track reflects Diamond's enduring ability to craft melodic, emotionally resonant songs that bridge the gap between his earlier folk-rock roots and polished studio production. The composition exemplifies the genre-blending approach Diamond mastered throughout his discography, seamlessly integrating elements of pop, R&B, and soft rock into a cohesive listening experience. As a staple of his later catalog, the song demonstrates his continued relevance and skill in crafting timeless melodies that rely on lyrical simplicity and harmonic richness rather than complex arrangements.
