Lyrically Speaking - 1/25/24

Every Thursday I'm selecting a year at random from the last six full decades, and for the 60's this week, the spinner stopped on 1964! I was still eleven years from making an appearance in this world, so I have nothing personal to add to this intro.... but you old fogies can reminisce all you want about that magical year sixty years ago while you answer this LSWE game featuring all songs that were released, or at least on the charts in 1964...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. When I'm home
Everything seems to be right
When I'm home
Feeling you holding
me tight, tight, yeah
2. Every time you kiss me, I'm still not certain that you love me
Every time you hold me, I'm still not certain that you care
3. My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
4. Oh, when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire proof
5. She drives real fast and she drives real hard
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
6. Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye
With "hurry-home" drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
7. Whoa-oh-oh, hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
8. Some say it's a sign of weakness
For a man to beg
Then weak I'd rather be
If it means having you to keep
'Cause lately I've been losing sleep
9. How long can I exist?
Wanting lips I've never kissed
She gives all her kisses to somebody else
10. We walked together hand in hand
'Cross miles and miles of golden sand
But now it's over and done
11. I love you, I love you, I love you so
But I don't want you to know
I need you, I need you, I need you so
And I'll never let you go
12. But you'll come running back (said you would baby)
You'll come running back (I said so many times before)
You'll come running back to me
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that was released or on the charts in 1964 (2 years either way is fine).
Image Bonus: If you can remember the 60's, you obviously didn't live through them....
