Like a heart that is oh, so true.

You think you lost your love,

When I saw her yesterday.

It's you she's thinking of

And she told me what to say.

She says she loves you

And you know that can't be bad.

Yes, she loves you

And you know you should be glad. Ooh!



She said you were to know

That she almost lost her mind.

And now she says she knows

You're not the hurting kind.

And you know that can't be bad.

Yes, she loves you

And you know you should be glad. Ooh!



She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

Apologize to her

Because she loves you

And you know that can't be bad.

Yes, she loves you

And you know you should be glad. Ooh!



She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll let me be your man

And please, say to me

You'll let me hold your hand.

All My Loving (Lennon/McCartney)



Close your eyes and I'll kiss you,

Tomorrow I'll miss you;

Remember I'll always be true.

And then while I'm away,

I'll write home ev'ry day,

And I'll send all my loving to you.



I'll pretend That I'm kissing 

the lips I am missing

And hope that my draems will come true.

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 get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright

'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love



I'll give you all I got to give if you say you love me too

I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you

I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love



Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so

Can't buy me love, no no no, no



Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied

Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy

I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love







A Hard Day's Night (Lennon/McCartney)



It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright



You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things

And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone

You know I feel ok



When I'm home everything seems to be right

When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight

You know I feel ok



You know I feel alright

You know I feel alright

The girl that's driving me mad

Is going away.

She's got a ticket to ride,

She's got a ticket to ride,

She's got a ticket to ride,

But she don't care.

For she would never be free

Yesterday (Lennon/McCartney)



Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday.



Suddenly, I'm not half to man I used to be,

There's a shadow hanging over me.

Oh, I yesterday came suddenly.



Why she had to go I don't know she woldn't say.

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.



Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.

Now I need a place to hide away.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.



Mm mm mm mm mm.

Help! (Lennon/McCartney)



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.

You've Got To Hide Your Love Away (Lennon/McCartney)



Here I stand head in hand

Turn my face to the wall

If she's gone I can't go on

Feelin' two-foot small



Everywhere people stare

Each and every day

I can see them laugh at me

And I hear them say



Hey you've got to hide your love away

Hey you've got to hide your love away



How could I even try

I can never win

Hearing them, seeing them

In the state I'm in



How could she say to me

Love will find a way

Gather round all you clowns

Let me hear you say



Hey you've got to hide your love away

Hey you've got to hide your love away







We Can Work It Out (Lennon/McCartney)



Try to see it my way,

Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?

While you see it your way,

Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.

We can work it out,

We can work it out.

Think of what you're saying.

You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright.

Think of what I'm saying,

We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.

We can work it out,

We can work it out.

Life is very short, and there's no time

For fussing and fighting, my friend.

I have always thought that it's a crime,

So I will ask you once again.

Try to see it my way,

Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.

While you see it your way

There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long.

We can work it out,

We can work it out.

Life is very short, and there's no time

For fussing and fighting, my friend.

I have always thought that it's a crime,

So I will ask you once again.

Try to see it my way,

Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.

While you see it your way

There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long.

We can work it out,

We can work it out.







Day Tripper (Lennon/McCartney)



Got a good reason for taking the easy way out

Got a good reason for taking the easy way out now



She was a day tripper, a one way ticket yea

It took me so long to find out, and I found out



She's a big teaser, she took me half the way there

She's a big teaser, she took me half the way there now



Tried to please her, she only played one night stands

Tried to please her, she only played one night stands now



She was a day tripper, a Sunday driver yea

Took me so long to find out, and I found out



Day tripper

Drive My Car (Lennon/McCartney)

She said baby, can't you see

I wanna be famous, a star on the screen

But you can do something in between



Baby you can drive my car

Yes I'm gonna be a star

Baby you can drive my car

And baby I love you



I told a girl that my prospects were good

And she said baby, it's understood

Working for peanuts is all very fine

Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) (Lennon/McCartney)



I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.

She showed me her room, isn't it good, norwegian wood?

She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,

So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.

I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.

We talked until two and then she said, "It's time for bed".

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.

I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath.

And when I awoke I was alone, this bird had flown.

So I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood.







Nowhere Man (Lennon/McCartney)



He's a real nowhere Man,

Sitting in his Nowhere Land,

Making all his nowhere plans

for nobody.



Doesn't kave a point of view,

Knows not where he's going to,

Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man, please listen,

You don't know what you're missing,

Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.



He's as blind as he can be,

Just sees what he wants to see,

Nowhere Man can you see me at all?

Doesn't kave a point of view,

Knows not where he's going to,

Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man, don't worry,

Take your time, don't hurry,

Leave it all till somebody else

lend you a hand.



He's a real Nowhere Man,

Sitting in his Nowhere Land,

Making all his nowhere plans

For nobody.







Michelle (Lennon/McCartney)



Michelle, ma belle.

These are words that go together well,

my Michelle.



Chorus: Michelle, ma belle.

Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble,

tres bien ensemble.



I love you, I love you, I love you.

That's all I want to say.

Until I find a way

I will say the only words I know that

you'll understand. [Chorus]



I need you, I need you, I need you.

I need to make you see,

oh, what you mean to me.

Until I do I'm hoping you will

know what I mean.



I love you.



I want you, I want you, I want you.

I think you know by now

I'll get to you somehow.

Until I do I'm telling you so

you'll understand. [Chorus]



I will say the only words I know that

you'll understand, my Michelle.







In My Life (Lennon/McCartney)



There are places I'll remember

All my life though some have changed

Some forever not for better

Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments

With lovers and friends I still can recall

Some are dead and some are living

In my life I've loved them all



But of all these friends and lovers

There is no one compares with you

And these memories lose their meaning

When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life I love you more



Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life I love you more

In my life I love you more







Girl (Lennon/McCartney)



Is there anybody gone 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!



She's the kind of girl who puts you down

When friends are there, you feel a fool.

Didididi..

When you say she's looking good

She acts as if it's understood.

She's cool, cool, cool, cool,

Girl! Girl! [Was she]



When I think of all the times I've tried 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 pain

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!







Paperback Writer (Lennon/McCartney)



Paperback writer



Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?

It took me years to write, will you take a look?

Based on a novel by a man named Lear

And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer,

And his clinging wife doesn't understand.

His son is working for the Daily Mail,

It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer,

Paperback writer.



Paperback writer

Eleanor Rigby (Lennon/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?



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

Where do they all come from?

All the lonely people

Where do they all belong?







Yellow Submarine (Lennon/McCartney)



In the town where I was born

Lived a man who sailed to sea

And he told us of his life

In the land of submarines



So we sailed up to the sun

Till we found the sea of green

And we lived beneath the waves

In our yellow submarine



We all live in our yellow submarine, 

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in our yellow submarine, 

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine



And our friends are all on board

Many more of them live next door

And the band begins to play



We all live in our yellow submarine, 

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in our yellow submarine, 

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine



As we live a life of ease

Everyone of us has all we need

Sky of blue and sea of green

In our yellow submarine.



We all live in our yellow submarine, 

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in our yellow submarine, 

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine



We all live in our yellow submarine, 

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in our yellow submarine, 

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
