"Come Back Silly Girl" is a song written by Barry Mann.[1] It was first released as a single by Steve Lawrence in 1960.[2] This version garnered very little notice, but was a minor hit in Australia.
In 1962, The Lettermen released their version as a single from their album A Song for Young Love.[3] This version achieved greater success than Lawrence's. It became a top twenty hit on Billboards pop and easy listening charts.
