Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons - Dawn (Live)

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons performing Dawn (Go Away) live from Chicago in 1982.

Song background: "This was written by Bob Gaudio and Sandy Linzer. Gaudio was a member of the group and also one of their primary songwriters, often teaming up with the producer Bob Crewe. Linzer is a lyricist known for writing hits with Denny Randell, including the Four Seasons classic "Working My Way Back to You."
"Dawn" is a very self-deprecating song, with lead singer Frankie Valli constantly telling the girl that he's not good enough for her: "Think what the future would be with a poor boy like me."
This marked a change in attitude for the group, going from the swagger of "Walk Like A Man" to the pity of songs like this and "Bye, Bye, Baby (Baby Goodbye)." Said Valli: "We sang songs about men and their situations with women, and about how things don't always go the way you want them to."
Was there really a Dawn? When we posed this question to Bob Gaudio, he explained that there is a new dawn each day, but the song was not about a specific girl."

Lyrics
"Pretty as a midsummer's morn'
They call her Dawn
Dawn
Go away I'm no good for you
Oh Dawn
Stay with him, he'll be good to you
Hang on (hang on)
Hang on to you
Think (think)
What a big man he'll be
Think
Of the places you'll see
Now think what the future would be with a poor boy like me
Dawn go away
Please go away
Although I know
I want you to stay
Dawn go away
Please go away
Baby, don't cry
It's better this way
Ah, ah, ah
Oh
Dawn
Go away back where you belong
Girl we can't
Change the places where we were born
Before you say
That you want me
I want you to think (think)
What your family would say
Think (think)
What your throwing away
Now think what the future would be with a poor boy like me
Me
Dawn
Go away I'm no good for you
Dawn
Go away I'm no good for you
Dawn
Go away I'm no good for you
Dawn
Go away I'm no good for you
Dawn"
