I'm in a very Beatles place right now...

So I think I'll share my fave Beatles lyrics with y'all. And it's gonna be in alphabetical order, seeing as how this wonderful site has them all in alphabetical order. 🙂 Wow, they made so much music it's unbelievable! Goodness.

Across the Universe

Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.

Jai Guru De Va Om

Nothing?s gonna change my world
Nothing?s gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Jai Guru De Va Om

Nothing?s gonna change my world
Nothing?s gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai Guru De Va Om

Nothing?s gonna change my world
Nothing?s gonna change my world.

All My Loving
Lennon/McCartney

Close your eyes and I?ll kiss you,
Tomorrow I?ll miss,
Remember I?ll always be true,
And then while I?m away,
I?ll write home every day,
And I?ll send all my loving to you.
I?ll pretend I am kissing,
The lips I am missing,
And hope that my dreams will come true,
And then while I?m away,
I?ll write home every day,
And I?ll send all my loving to you.
All my loving, I will send to you,
All my loving, darling, I?ll be true.
Close your eyes and I?ll kiss you,
Tomorrow I?ll miss,
Remember I?ll always be true,
And then while I?m away,
I?ll write home every day,
And I?ll send all my loving to you.
All my loving, I will send to you,
All my loving, darling, I?ll be true,
All my loving, I will send to you.

That's um..."tomorrow I'll miss You". Of course.

All You Need Is Love
Lennon/McCartney

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.

There?s nothing you can do that can?t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can?t be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It?s easy.

There?s nothing you can make that can?t be made.
No one you can save that can?t be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It?s easy.

All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.

All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

There?s nothing you can know that isn?t known.
Nothing you can see that isn?t shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn?t where you?re meant to be.
It?s easy.

All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

And I Love Her

I give her all my love,
That?s all I do,
And if you saw my love,
You?d love her too.
I love her.

She gives me ev?rything,
And tenderly,
The kiss my lover brings,
She brings to me,
And I love her.

A love like ours,
Could never die,
As long as I,
Have you near me.

Bright are the stars that shine,
Dark is the sky,
I know this love is mine,
Will never die,
And I love her.

Bright are the stars that shine,
Dark is the sky,
I know this love is mine,
Will never die,
And I love her.

Baby You're a Rich Man

How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people
Now that you know who you are?
What do you want to be and have you travelled very far?
Far as the eye can see

How does it feel to be one of the people?
How often have you been there?
Often enough to know
What did you see when you were there?
Nothing that doesn?t show

Baby you?re a rich man
Baby you?re a rich man
Baby you?re a rich man too

You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside the zoo
What a thing to do

Baby you?re a rich man
Baby you?re a rich man
Baby you?re a rich man too.

How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people
Tuned to a natural E?
Happy to be that way now that you?ve found another key
What are you going to play?

Baby you?re a rich man
Baby you?re a rich man
Baby you?re a rich man too

You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo
What a thing to do

Baby you?re a rich man
Baby you?re a rich man
Baby you?re a rich man too...

Baby's in Black

Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby?s in black and I?m feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?
She thinks of him and so she dresses in black,
And though he?ll never come back, she?s dressed in black.

Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby?s in black and I?m feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?
I think of her, but she only thinks of him,
And though it?s only a whim, she thinks of him.

Oh how long will it take,
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear what can I do?
Baby?s in black, and I?m feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?
She thinks of him and she dresses in black,
And though he?ll never come back, she?s dressed in black.

Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby?s in black and I?m feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?

Lennon/McCartney

You say it?s your birthday.

We?re gonna have a good time.
I?m glad it?s your birthday
Happy birthday to you.
Yes we?re going to party party
Yes we?re going to party party
Yes we?re going to party party.
I would like you to dance ? Birthday
Take a cha-cha-cha-chance ? Birthday
I would like you to dance ? Birthday dance
You say it?s your birthday.
It?s my birthday too ? yeah.
You say it?s your birthday.
We?re gonna have a good time.

Blackbird
Lennon/McCartney

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see.
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Can't Buy Me Love
Lennon/McCartney

Can?t buy me love, love,
Can?t buy me love.

I?ll buy you a diamond ring my friend,
If it makes you feel alright,
I?ll buy you anything my friend,
If it makes you feel alright,
For I don?t care too much for money,
For money can?t buy me love.

I?ll give you all I?ve got to give,
If you say you love me too,
I may not have a lot to give,
But what I?ve got I?ll give to you,
For I don?t care to much for money.
For money can?t buy me love.

Can?t buy me love, ev?rybody tells me so,
Can?t buy me love, no, no, no, no.

Say you don?t want no diamond ring,
And I?ll be satisfied,
Tell me that you want the kind of things,
That money just can?t buy,
For I don?t care to much for money.
For money can?t buy me love.

Can?t buy me love, ev?rybody tells me so,
Can?t buy me love, no, no, no, no.
Can?t buy me love, love,
Can?t buy me love.

Doesn't that song just make ya wanna dance? 😛

Carry That Weight

Boy ? you?re gonna carry that weight,
Carry that weight a long time.
I never give you my pillow,
I only send you invitations,
And in the middle of the celebrations I break down.

Not using YELLOW again...lol

(Ringo Starr)
Lead Vocal: Ringo Starr

I listen for your footsteps
Coming up the drive
Listen for your footsteps
But they don't arrive
Waiting for your knock dear
On my old front door
I don't hear it
Does it mean you don't love me anymore?

I hear the clock a'ticking
On the mantel shelf
See the hands a'moving
But I'm by myself
I wonder where you are tonight
And why I'm by myself
I don't see you
Does it mean you don't love me anymore?

Don't pass me by don't make me cry don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by don't make me cry

I'm sorry that I doubted you

You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair
You said you would be late
About an hour or two
I said that's alright I'm waiting here
Just waiting to hear from you

Don't pass me by don't make me cry don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling I love only you

Eleanor Rigby
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby
(Perkins)
Lead Vocal: George Harrison

Well they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it me

Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now

Well half past nine, half past four
Fifty women knocking on my door

Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now

Went out last night, I didn't stay late
'Fore I got home I had nineteen dates

Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now

Went out last night, I didn't stay late
'Fore I got home I had nineteen dates

Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now

Well they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it me

Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now

For You Blue
(George Harrison)
Lead Vocal: George Harrison

[Queen says no to pot-smoking FBI members.]

Because you're sweet and lovely girl I love you
because you're sweet and lovely girl it's true
I love you more than ever girl I do
I want you in the morning girl I love you
I want you at the moment I feel blue
I'm living every moment girl for you

[Walk, walk cat walk.
Go Johnny go.]

Same old tale of blues.

Elmo James go nothing on this baby.]

I've loved you from the moment I saw you
You looked at me that's all you had to do
I feel it now I hope you feel it too

Because you're sweet and lovely girl I love you
Because you're sweet and lovely girl it's true
I love you more than ever girl I do
I really love you

This song and video made a lot more sense to me after I watched the Anthology. They explain the making of it and the surviving Beatles themselves talk about what it means to them. And they show the video, too, which is chock-full of little details that Beatles fans would totally pick up on.

Free As A Bird
(Original version by John Lennon; Beatles version by John Lennon, Paul McCarteny, George Harrison, Ringo Starr)
Lead Vocals: John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison

Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird

Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings

Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?

Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...

Free as a bird
Like the next best thing to be
Free as a bird

Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings

Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
Always made me feel so free

Ah...
Ah...
Ah...

Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Free as a bird
Free as a bird
Oooooo

Free...

[Turn out nice again, mother.]

This one is so timeless that if it were released today by some alternative band, it would be as current as this version was decades ago.

Oh yeah yeah yeah
Jojo (fade out)

Girl
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: John Lennon

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much
It makes you sorry
Still, you don't regret a single day
Ah girl!
Girl!

When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me
And I believe her
After all this times I don't know why
Ah, girl!
Girl!

She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there, you feel a fool
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood
She's cool, cool, cool, cool
Girl!
Girl!

Was she told when she was young the fame
Would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn
His day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
Ah girl!
Girl!
Girl!

Ah girl!
Girl!
Girl!

Glass Onion
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: John Lennon

I told you about strawberry fields
You know the place where nothing is real
Well here's another place you can go
Where everything flows
Looking through the bent backed tulips
To see how the other half live
Looking through a glass onion

I told you about the walrus and me, man
You know that we're as close as can be, man
Well here's another clue for you all
The walrus was Paul
Standing on the cast iron shore, yeah
Lady Madonna trying to make ends meet, yeah
Looking through a glass onion

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Looking through a glass onion

I told you about the fool on the hill
I tell you man he living there still
Well here's another place you can be
Listen to me
Fixing a hole in the ocean
Trying to make a dove-tail joint, yeah
Looking through a glass onion

It's amazing to me that I've heard this song a zillion times, and EVERY time I hear it, it STILL makes me feel like crying. It's the tune or something. Or it's that he says "do not cry". Magicians, those Beatles.

Golden Slumbers
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Good Day Sunshine
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney

Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine

I need to laugh and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day

Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine

We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground

Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine

Then we'd lie beneath the shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine
I'm so proud to know that she is mine.

Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine
Good day...

Got To Get You Into My Life
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone you knew in time we'd meet again
For I had told you

Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you hear me
Say we'll be together every day

Got to get you into my life

What can I do, what can I be
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

Then suddenly I see you
Did I tell you I need you
Every single day?

She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do do do, oh yeah
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane

The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust

Down
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun

Happiness is a warm gun (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, mama (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
When I hold you in my arms (Oo-oo oh yeah)
And I feel my finger on your trigger (Oo-oo oh yeah)
I know no one can do me no harm (Oo-oo oh yeah)
Because happiness is a warm gun, mama (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm, yes it is, gun (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Well, don't you know happiness is a warm gun, mama? (Happiness is a warm gun, yeah)

Help!
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: John Lennon

Help, I need somebody
Help, not just anybody
Help, you know I need someone, help

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I've never done before

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these daya are gone, I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh!

oh boy, major tearjerker alert 🙂

Here Comes The Sun
(George Harrison)
Lead Vocal: George Harrison

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to their faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
It's all right, it's all right

eek, here's another! 🙂

Hey Jude
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Hey Jude, don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah yeah

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh

Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude

How Do You Do It
(Murray)
Lead Vocal: John Lennon

How do you do what you do to me?
I wish I knew
If I knew how you do it to me
I'd do it to you

How do you do what you do to me?
I'm feeling blue
Wish I knew how you do it to me
But I haven't a clue

You give me a feeling in my heart, ooh-la-la
Like an arrow piercing through it
I suppose that you think you're very smart
But won't you tell me how do you do it?

How do you do what you do to me?
I wish I knew
If I knew how you do it to me
I'd do it to you

You give me a feeling in my heart, ooh-la-la
Like an arrow piercing through it
I suppose that you think you're very smart
But won't you tell me how do you do it?

How do you do what you do to me?
I wish I knew
Wish I knew how you do it to me
But I haven't a clue

Wish I knew how you do it to me
I'd do it to you
Wish I knew how you do it to me
I'd do it to you

Too bad I can't use psychedelic rainbow text for this 😛

I Am The Walrus
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: John Lennon

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun see how they fly
I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come
Corporation teeshirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob

Mister City Policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come, you get a tan from
Standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo goo joob

Expert textpert choking smokers don't you thing
The joker laughs at you? Ha ha ha!
See how they smile, like pigs in a sty
See how they snied
I'm crying

Semolina pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna man
You should have seen them kicking Edgar Alan Poe
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob
Goo goo gooooooooooo jooooob

I Feel Fine
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: John Lennon

Baby's good to me, you know
She's happy as can be, you know
She said so
I'm in love with her and I feel fine

Baby says she's mine, you know
She tells me all the time, you know

I'm in love with her and I feel fine

I'm so glad that she's my little girl

That her baby buys her things, you know
He buys her diamond rings, you know
She said so
She's in love with me and I feel fine, mmm

Baby says she's mine, you know
She tells me all the time, you know

I Me Mine
(George Harrison)
Lead Vocal: George Harrison

All through the day, I me mine
I me mine, I me mine
All through the night, I me mine
I me mine, I me mine
Now they're frightened of leaving it
Everyone's weaving it
Coming on strong all the time
All through the day I me mine

I-I-me-me-mine, I-I-me-me-mine
I-I-me-me-mine, I-I-me-me-mine

All I can hear, I me mine
I me mine, I me mine
Even those tears, I me mine
I me mine, I me mine
No-one's frightened of playing it
Everyone's saying it
Flowing more freely than wine
All through the day I me mine

I-I-me-me mine, I-I-me-me mine
I-I-me-me mine, I-I-me-me mine

All I can hear, I me mine
I me mine, I me mine
Even those tears, I me mine
I me mine, I me mine
No-one's frightened of playing it
Everyone's saying it
Flowing more freely than wine
All through your life I me mine

Here's something...I don't actually think I've ever heard this song before. Which is just not allowable. Especially since George was my favorite. Well, I think the lyrics are lovely nonetheless, so here ye are.

I Need You
(George Harrison)
Lead Vocal: George Harrison

You don't realize how much I need you
Love you all the time and never leave you
Please come on back to me
I'm lonely as can be
I need you

Said you had a thing or two to tell me
How was I to know you would upset me?
I didn't realize as I looked in your eyes
You told me, oh yes, you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore
That's when it hurt me and feeling like this I just can't go on anymore

Please remember how I feel about you
I could never really live without you
So, come on back and see just what you mean to me. I need you

But when you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore
That's when it hurt me and feeling like this I just can't go on anymore

Please remember how I feel about you
I could never really live without you
So, come on back and see just what you mean to me
I need you
I need you
I need you

I Saw Her Standing There
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney

[1,2,3,4!]

Well, she was just 17
You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another (Ooh)
When I saw her standing there

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another (Whooh)
When I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine...

Whoah, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine...

Whoah, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

I Should Have Known Better
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: John Lennon

I should have known better with a girl like you
That I would love everything that you do
And I do, hey, hey, hey, and I do

Whoa, oh, I never realized what a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too

So I should have realized a lot of things before
If this is love you've got to give me more
Give me more, hey hey hey, give me more

Whoa, oh, I never realized what a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too
You love me too, you love me too
You love me too

I Want To Tell You
(George Harrison)
Lead Vocal: George Harrison

I want to tell you
My head is filled with things to say
When you're here
All those words, they seem to slip away

When I get near you
The games begin to drag me down
It's alright
I'll make you maybe next time around

But if I seem to act unkind
It's only me, it's not my mind
That is confusing things

I want to tell you
I feel hung up but I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time

Sometimes I wish I knew you well,
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe you'd understand

I want to tell you
I feel hung up but I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time, I've got time, I've got time

I Will
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney

Who knows how long I've loved you
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to, I will

For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same

Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart

And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know I will
I will

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Da da da da da da da

I'll Cry Instead
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: John Lennon

I've got every reason on earth to be mad
'Cause I've just lost the only girl I had
And if I could get my way
I'd get myself locked up today
But I can't so I cry instead

I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet
I can't talk to people that I meet
And if I could see you now
I'd try to make you sad somehow
But I can't so I cry instead

Don't want to cry when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna hide myself away, ay hay
But I'll come back again someday

And when I do you'd better hide all the girls
I'm gonna break their hearts all 'round the world
Yes, I'm gonna break them in two
And show you what your loving man can do
Until then I'll cry instead

Don't want to cry when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna hide myself away, ay hay
But I'll come back again someday

And when I do you'd better hide all the girls
'Cause I'm gonna break their hearts all 'round the world
Yes, I'm gonna break them in two
And show you what your loving man can do
Until then I'll cry instead
