"Can't You See That She's Mine" is the fourth single released in the United States by the Dave Clark Five. The song was written by Dave Clark and Mike Smith, and was the Dave Clark Five's fourth Gold Record.[1] The B-side "No Time To Lose" was taken from the previous Dave Clark Five album "Glad All Over".[2]

Background

The middle four bars start with the lyric "People talk and try to break us up. Well we know they don't understand", which is a direct lift from the 1960 Ray Charles song "Sticks And Stones".

Cash Box described it as a "sizzling rocker...that should move up the charts in jet -speed fashion.."[3]
