<P> `` Go Away Little Girl '' is a popular song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King . It was first recorded by Bobby Vee for Liberty Records on March 28 , 1962 . The lyrics consist of a young man asking a young attractive woman to stay away from him , so that he will not be tempted to betray his steady girlfriend by kissing her . The song is notable for making the American Top 20 three times : for Steve Lawrence in 1962 ( US number 1 ) , for The Happenings in 1966 ( US number 12 ) , and for Donny Osmond in 1971 ( US number 1 ) . It is also the first song , and one of only nine , to reach US number 1 by two different artists . </P>
