ANSWER:   I got nothing.  I thought about this for a while before responding.  
 I can't think of a song this might be.  Perhaps if you could give me some more info,  like what kinds of instruments,  low voice, high voice?
Electric guitars?  Acoustic guitars?   Organ?   
 Slow song, fast song?  

  Anything you can think of might cause the bell in my head to ring.

Answer
    That sounds like something Gilbert O'Sullivan would have done,  but I know of no particular song with any of those lyrics and have searched quite a bit without much luck.  There are a lot of possibilities,  when rock was happening a lot of the vocalists had a similar sound to what you describe because of the equipment available.  If anything comes to mind I will let you know.   
 If you find out what it is , I am curious and would like to know too, please let me know if you find out.
