Why Have You Left the One You Left Me For -- Crystal Gayle

There's a song running through my head right now that goes something like "Why (would? should?) I cry, (when? if?) you (don't? won't) really love me?" I want to say Grass Roots, but it doesn't show up in their discography. I can't find any matches using Google. Anyone else recognize this '60s/'70s earworm of mine?
 
It doesn't sound familiar. The first songs that came to my lil' mind were Freddy Fender's If You Don't Love Me and Robert John's If You Don't Want My Love...but they certainly don't sound like the Grass Roots. Could it be Why Should I Cry from the Tymes' 1964 Somewhere album? I can't find the lyrics online.

Mister CT, I assumed you had already checked all the singles titled Why Should I Cry so I was trying to find album tracks with that title. In Los Angeles, KHJ and KRLA and KDAY never played the Gentrys song and I had never heard it. I'm glad you found it and shared the link. Good ol' YouTube!

Mister radioman mentioned Annette's Wild Willie. I decided I'm going to give you the...the....no, I won't say it---it's just too easy. :D

I'm surprised KHJ wasn't on it. Since it's stayed with me all these years, I can only assume that sister station WRKO Boston played it for a few weeks. I was hardly ever listening to WMEX by March 1970. At that point, I was actually spending more time with progressive WBCN than 'RKO. And there's no was 'BCN was playing the Gentrys.
 
Gee, if only there was a website that had all the 68RKO surveys! Hey, wait a minute.....

http://surveys.wrko.org/wrko_700108.htm

On January 8, 1970, Why Should I Cry debuted at #30. The next week it jumped to #26. Then it jumped to #19.....and magically disappeared. The RKO stations did that a lot---dropping songs that were still climbing---so their chart didn't get "stale." I remember when the Rascals' How Can I Be Sure was number one on KHJ; it dropped to #6 and then dropped completely off the chart!

I listed some "Willie" titles; now for the alternate spelling:

Willy Don't Be Silly - Buju Banton
Willy Jones - Susan Raye
Willy Nilly - Rufus Thomas
Willy Of Winsbury - Pentangle
Willy Quit Your Playing - Billy Grammer
Willy The Wandering Gypsy & Me - Waylon Jennings (He changed the spelling of Tex Ritter's Willie)
Willy's Won'tcha - Bonnie Raitt

Pretty sure WRKO did that with the Temptations' "All I Need." Loved that song and was disappointed when, one week, it just wasn't getting played anymore. Sure enough, it had gone from No. 8 to oblivion.
