You Still Want Me (1:58) - The tempo is moderately fast. The narrator wasn't able to give his girlfriend all she wanted, and she found other guys to date. In spite of this, she still wants him; he can tell by the smile she wears. So he tells her he'll stand by; once the other guys are gone, he'll reclaim her.
You Do Something To Me * (2:23) - The narrator of this fast song says that what the girl does to him makes him want to love her, but I think he already IS in love with her. After all, he's already living only for her. Anyway, only she can do what she does to him.
You Really Got Me (2:13) - My favorite Kinks song is moderately fast and features a piano and a tambourine. The girl has the narrator wound around her little finger; he's so in love with her that he has lost sense of what he's doing and gained insomnia. He tells her never to let him go, for he always wants to be beside her.
All Day And All Of The Night (2:22) - That's how long the narrator wants to be with his girlfriend; he's happy only when he's with her. This song is a near-twin to the previous one, with the same tempo and a similar chord sequence. However, no piano or tambourine plays here.
Stop Your Sobbing (2:05) - The tempo is moderate. I don't know why the girl is sobbing in the first place, but the narrator tells her that if he still is to want her, she'd better stop crying and start laughing. I like how the guys rapidly sing "Gotta stop your sobbing now; Stop it! Stop it!"
Tired Of Waiting For You (2:31) - This moderate-tempoed song is another goody. The narrator was lonely until he met the girl, but now she keeps staying out late, making him wait for her. He is now so eager for affection from her that he pleads for her not to make him wait any longer. More recently, this song was used in an Alka-Seltzer commercial, to depict a person with a cold who is tired of waiting for a medicine to start working.
Come On Now * (1:46) - The fast tempo aptly matches the hurried mood. The narrator asks his girlfriend to hurry and get ready for their date while they still have time. It's probably a summer night, for he mentions that the sun still shines.
Everybody's Gonna Be Happy (2:16) - This very fast song features hand-clapping. The narrator has a lot to say to his girlfriend, so he asks her to listen so he can tell her what's on his mind. If he says that "everybody" means him and her, then probably no third people stand within sight or earshot of the couple. So as long as the couple are happy, everyone in that spot is happy.
Who'll Be The Next In Line * (2:01) - This fast song has the opposite mood of the song it backs--heartache. As the narrator realizes that his relationship with the girl is about to end, he asks her who is the next guy whose love she will take for granted. I wouldn't be surprised if he used that info to warn that next guy not to fall for her. Anyway, he warns her that one day she'll realize that he gave her the best love she'd ever been given.
Something Better Beginning (2:24) - The tempo is moderate. During the last song at a dance party, the narrator dances and falls in love with the girl to whom he's singing. Having been hurt by love before, he wonders whether the current relationship will end unhappily like the others, or it will turn out to be his best romance ever.
Set Me Free (2:12) - The tempo is moderate. Whereas in "You Really Got Me," the narrator told the girl, "DON'T EVER set me free," here he's telling her TO set him free. Which is all she has to do if he can't be her only man.
I Need You * (2:25) - This moderately fast song opens with a guitar twang similar to that which opens the Beatles' "I Feel Fine." The narrator needs his girlfriend "more than anybody else has needed anyone before." In 1965, the same year as the release of this song, the Beatles sang a different song of the same title.
A Well Respected Man (2:41) - This fast song is about a man who works every day from 9 to 5:30, always catching the train and reporting to work on time. He apparently is wealthy and certainly is physically and mentally healthy and, of course, respected by everyone.
Till The End Of The Day (2:19) - The tempo is moderately fast, with a slow beginning and ending. Instruments include a tambourine. In a letter to his girlfriend, the narrator tells her that her love for him keeps him feeling good from dawn till day's end. I like how the final chord vibrates.
Where Have All The Good Times Gone * (2:49) - The tempo is moderate. Again, the mood is the opposite of that on the A-side. The narrator looks back on the happy times he and his girlfriend used to have and wonders what he could have done wrong to make them stop. Apparently, hard times have struck the narrator's parents, too; one lyric I find interesting: "Daddy didn't have no toys / And Mommy didn't need no boys."
Dedicated Follower Of Fashion (3:01) - This fast song starts and ends slow. The fashion-conscious man is sought by people everywhere. Considering how expensive clothing is, I assume he's wealthy. I'm the exact opposite of this guy; I don't care what kind of clothes are "in" or "out." I wear what appeals to me, and I buy new clothes only when my old ones wear out.
Sunny Afternoon (3:34) - This moderate, swing-tempoed song features a tambourine and an organ. The narrator was formerly wealthy; all of his possessions have been taken from him. He has lost every penny and his yacht to the taxman, and his car to his girlfriend. That he is "lazin' on a sunny afternoon" is of little consolation; he wants to get away to somewhere where he can maintain his high standard of living.
I'm Not Like Everybody Else * (3:27) - This song, slightly faster than moderate, features a tambourine. The narrator asserts his uniqueness, refusing to live or act like the crowd.
