"Walk Right Back" is a 1961 song by Sonny Curtis that was recorded by The Everly Brothers, and went to No. 7 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.[1] Overseas, the song went to No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks.[2] Originally it was the B-side, then it was changed to the A-side.
In an interview he did with Jim Liddane of the International Songwriters Association, Sonny Curtis said about the song:[3]
(It goes:
These eyes of mine that gave you loving glances once before, change to shades of cloudy gray. I want so very much to see you, just like before. I've got to know you're coming back to stay. Please believe me when I say, 'It's great to hear from you,' but there's a lot of things a letter just can't say, oh, me. Walk right back to me this minute ...,
etc.)
