1. It's My Party (2:14) - Lesley's first hit was also her only #1 hit; however, 7 other songs listed here did reach other Top 20 positions. Since she was 17 at the time the song was recorded, she earned the nickname "the Teen Queen." The tempo is moderate. Horns are featured in this and the next three songs. The narrator is crying because her boyfriend Johnny left her birthday party with a girl named Judy.
2. Judy's Turn To Cry (2:11) - The sequel to the previous song is slightly faster. Besides horns, I hear a harpsichord. After crying over being deserted by Johnny, the narrator kisses another guy, whom Johnny then approaches and whacks. Johnny and the narrator reunite, so now the hurt is on Judy--tit for tat.
3. Just Let Me Cry (2:13) - The tempo is slow during the first 15 seconds, but the rest of the time it's moderately fast. Sometimes hands clap; when they do they sound the first beat, the second eighth beat within the second beat, and the third and fourth beats. The narrator doesn't want to see the stars shine, hear the robins sing, or see couples kiss, now that her boyfriend has left her. She just wants to cry over him. This song was the B-side to the previous song.
4. She's A Fool (2:11) - In this moderate-tempoed song, men with bass voices sing behind Lesley. The girl about whom the narrator sings takes for granted the love of the man who the narrator wishes were her boyfriend.
5. The Old Crowd (2:31) - The flip side of the previous song starts off slow but from 0:30 on is moderately fast. Hand-clapping is featured here, too; this time, however, the hands clap on both eighth beats within the second beat and on the fourth quarter beat. The narrator, having graduated from high school, misses the friends she had while going there, as would many people.
6. You Don't Own Me (2:29) - This song has a slow, 12/8 tempo. One drum sounds interesting--almost like a bell. The string quartet is also featured here. The narrator asserts her freedom, telling her boyfriend not to treat her like a toy, monopolize her dating, or otherwise tell her what to say and do.
7. That's The Way Boys Are (2:13) - This song has a similar tempo to "She's A Fool." The one instrument besides drums I hear is a piano. Hand-clapping like that in "The Old Crowd" appears from time to time; in another part of the song, hands clap on the fourth beat of each measure. The drums are more audible in the right speaker than in the left. The narrator is hurt when her boyfriend eyes other girls or acts macho, but she accepts it as natural behavior for boys.
8. I Don't Wanna Be A Loser (2:40) - This song has a 12/8 tempo even slower than that in "You Don't Own Me." Most of the time the drums play loudest on the second and fourth quarter beats. A bell, after ringing on the fourth quarter beat of one measure, rings on the third quarter beat of the next measure, then on the fourth beat in the next measure, and so on. Horns and hand-clapping are also featured here. The narrator doesn't want another girl to take her boyfriend's love from her; the narrator asks the boy what she can do to keep him by her side.
9. Maybe I Know (2:35) - I like this best of all Lesley songs for its moderate swing tempo. As was the case two songs ago, the drums are balanced toward the right speaker. In the third verse, hands clap on the second eighth beat within the fourth beat of one measure and on the first beat of the next measure. From the end of the third verse on, the hands clap on every even-numbered beat. The other featured instruments are horns. The theme here is the similar to the one we heard two songs ago--the narrator's boyfriend cheats on her, but she resigns herself to it. She firmly believes he really loves her and will behave better someday.
10. Wonder Boy (2:16) - This fast song features horns. Between 1:07 and 1:22 a tambourine plays. Up to 1:07, hands clap on the fourth beat of most measures; from 1:22 on, they clap on both second and fourth beats. The balance of the drums slants toward the right speaker, while the balance of Lesley's voice is inclined toward the left speaker. The narrator is trying to win the heart of the boy who is at the top of the class. He may be smart academically, but he doesn't notice the narrator, much less have a clue how she feels about him.
11. Hey Now (2:11) - The tempo is moderate. In the right speaker, I hear jingle bells and a duck-sounding percussion. In the left speaker, I hear hands clapping on the second quarter beat and both eighth beats within the fourth beat. The narrator asks the guy to tell her now what he plans to do. Will he be her one true love or just another date? Will he leave her or will he stay?
12. Look Of Love (2:07) - This song is moderately fast. The drums play louder on the second and fourth beats than on the first and third. In this song and the next three, horns are featured. The narrator notices that her former boyfriend is now with another woman. When she sees them together, the narrator looks back with sorrow on the days when the guy used to be hers.
13. Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows (1:36) - This is both the fastest and the shortest song on the album. The even-numbered beats are accented this time by a tambourine. Once in a while I do hear the roll of regular drums. The narrator's life is "sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows" (i.e., paradise) when her boyfriend is with her.
14. My Town, My Guy And Me (2:25) - The tempo is moderately fast. Regular drums play on all beats, while a tambourine plays on the second and fourth beats of most measures. The horns are most audible just before each verse, during the instrumental, and just before the fading sequence. The narrator doesn't want to hear about New York City, San Francisco, or places of their ilk; she wants only to talk about her city, her boyfriend, and herself.
15. You Didn't Look 'Round (2:52) - This song has a moderate tempo. During some stanzas, hands clap on all beats. The narrator went to a movie the night before the setting of the song. Somewhere in the rows in front of her, she saw her boyfriend sitting next to and kissing another girl. He didn't look around to see the narrator because he was occupied with watching the movie and kissing the other girl.
16. What Am I Gonna Do With You (3:12) - Instruments in this moderately slow song include a piano, a harpsichord, and bells. At the start of the second verse, drums and a string quartet enter. From 1:41 to 2:04, a tambourine plays. This song could very well qualify as a sequel to the previous song. First, the narrator catches her boyfriend cheating on her; now, she wonders what to do with him after he's broken his promises to be true to her. "If I'd done the smart thing, I know," she sings, "I would have left you long ago." I think she's gonna dump him now; hang on for the next song!
17. Off And Running (1:52) - The tempo is fast. After some lines, hands clap on three beats in a row. I like the guitar licks in the middle instrumental. Sure enough, the narrator has now had enough of the guy. She's dumping him and running as far as her legs can carry her!
18. California Nights (2:46) - This song has a moderate, swing tempo. Instruments include an oboe, a violin, horns, and a tambourine. During the chorus, cymbal drums play on every second and fourth beat. I like the sound effect that represents the crashing of waves onto a beach. Here the mood is happier and more soothing. The narrator and her boyfriend spend nights walking hand-in-hand along the beaches of California and swimming in the Pacific Ocean.
