The Hollies are an English pop and rock group, formed in Manchester in the early 1960s, though most of the band members are from throughout East Lancashire. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style, they became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s and 1970s. They enjoyed considerable popularity in many countries, although they did not achieve major US chart success until 1966. Along with The Rolling Stones and The Searchers, they are one of the few British pop groups of the early 1960s that have never officially broken up and that continue to record and perform. The Hollies were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
The original line-up included Allan Clarke as lead vocalist, Graham Nash as guitarist and vocalist, Vic Steele (born Victor Winston Farrell, 8 May 1945, Manchester) on guitar, with Eric Haydock on bass guitar and Don Rathbone on drums (born Donald Rathbone, October 1942, Wilmslow, Cheshire). Steele left in February 1963, shortly before they signed to Parlophone as label-mates of The Beatles. Tony Hicks, who replaced Steele, and Bobby Elliott, who replaced Don Rathbone, joined the band in quick succession in 1963; both had played in a Nelson-based band, The Dolphins. Bernie Calvert, who replaced Haydock in 1966, was also a member of The Dolphins.

I'd be a fool not to realize
just how much I needed your love
I'd be a fool not to realize
I'm the guy you're thinking of whoa
I don't want nobody new
In the future baby I'm gonna be true to you
What kind of boy do you think I am
I'd give you love and ecstasy
I ain't ever gonna break your heart
And you know and you know when I hold you close to me
You know it starts to tear me apart whoa
What kind of boy do you think I'd be
if I let other girls kiss on me
Oh can't you see
What kind of boy do you think I am
Here in your arms
I wanna be little girl
You give your love
so tenderly
verse 3
chorus
What kind of boy do you think I am
What kind of boy do you think I am
