The Beatles Lyrics, album "Beatles For Sale"
JOHN 1972: 'I remember (Beatles music publisher) Dick James coming up to me after we did this one and saying, 'You're getting better now – that was a complete story.' Apparently, before that, he thought my songs wandered off.'JOHN 1980: 'That's my song.
That's the one where Dick James the publisher said, 'That's the first complete song you've written that resloves itself,' you know, with a complete story.
It was sort of my version of 'Silhouettes.' (sings) 'Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes…' I had that image of walking down the street and seeing her silhouetted in the window and not answering the phone, although I never called a girl on the phone in my life.
Because phones weren't part of the English child's life.'PAUL circa-1994: 'We wrote 'No Reply' together but from a strong original idea of his.
I think he pretty much had that one, but as usual, if he didn't have a third verse and the middle-eight, then he'd play it to me pretty much formed.
Then we'd shove a bit in the middle or I'd throw in an idea.'

This happened once before
When I came to your door
No reply
They said it wasn't you
But I saw you peep through your windowI saw the light, I saw the light
I know that you saw me
As I looked up to see your faceI tried to telephone
They said you were not home
That's a lie
'Cause I know where you've been
I saw you walk in your doorI nearly died, I nearly died
'Cause you walked hand in hand
With another man in my placeIf I were you I'd realize that I
Love you more than any other guy
And I'll forgive the lies that I
Heard before when you gave me no replyI've tried to telephone
They said you were not home
That's a lie
'Cause I know where you've been
I saw you walk in your doorI nearly died, I nearly died
'Cause you walked hand in hand
With another man in my placeNo reply, no reply

JOHN 1980: 'That's me in my Dylan period.
Part of me suspects I'm a loser, and part of me thinks I'm God almighty.' (laughs)
Part of me suspects I'm a loser, and part of me thinks I'm God almighty.' (laughs)
PAUL circa-1994: 'We used to listen to alot of country and western songs and they were all about sadness and 'I lost my truck' so it was quite acceptable to sing 'I'm a loser.' You really didn't think about it at the time, it's only later you'd think, God! That was pretty brave of John.
'I'm a Loser' was very much John's song and there may have been a dabble or two from me.'
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to beOf all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the endI'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to beAlthough I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cryI'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to beWhat have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose allI'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to beOf all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed

JOHN 1980: 'Written together in the same room.'PAUL circa-1994: 'We wanted to write something a little bit darker, bluesy…
It was very much co-written and we both sang it.
Sometimes the harmony that I was writing in sympathy to John's melody would take over and become a stronger melody…
When people wrote out the music score they would ask, 'Which one is the melody?' because it was co-written that you could actually take either.
We rather liked this one.'

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 thinks only of him
And though it's only a whim, she thinks of him
Oh how long will it take

Rock And Roll Music
(Chuck Berry)
(Chuck Berry)
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with meI've got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And lose the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphonyThat's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with meI took my loved one over across the tracks
So she can hear my man awail a sax
I must admit they have a rocking band
Man, they were blowing like a hurricaneThat's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with meWay down South they had a jubilee
The jokey folks they had a jamboree
They're drinking home brew from a water cup
The folks dancing there are all shook upAnd started playing that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with meDon't care to hear them play a tango
And In the Mood they take a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep a rocking that pianoThat's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Any old way you choose it

JOHN 1972: 'A nice one.'JOHN 1980: 'That's Paul again.
Can't you tell? I mean – 'Tomorrow may rain so/ I'll follow the sun.' That's another early McCartney, you know… written almost before the Beatles, I think.
He had alot of stuff.'PAUL 1988: 'I wrote that in my front parlour in Forthlin Road.
I was about 16.
There was a few from then – 'Thinking Of Linking,' ever heard of that one? So 'I'll Follow The Sun' was one of those very early ones.
I seem to remember writing it just after I'd had the flu… I remember standing in the parlour looking out through lace curtains of the window and writing that one.
We had this hard R&B; image in Liverpool, so I think songs like 'I'll Follow The Sun,' ballads like that, got pushed back to later.'

JOHN 1972: 'Both of us wrote it.
I think we wrote this when we were trying to write the title song for 'Help!' because there was at one time the thought of calling the film, 'Eight Arms To Hold You.''JOHN 1980: 'Eight Days A Week' was never a good song.
We struggled to record it and struggled to make it into a song.
It was his (Paul's) initial effort, but I think we both worked on it.
I'm not sure.
But it was lousy anyway.'PAUL 1984: 'Yeah, he (Ringo) said it as though he were an overworked chauffeur: (in heavy accent) 'Eight days a week.' (Laughter) When we heard it, we said, 'Really? Bing! Got it!'' (Laughs)

JOHN 1980: ''Every Little Thing' is his song.

It didn't have quite what was required.'

JOHN 1974: 'That was a very personal one of mine.'JOHN 1980: 'That's me!'
I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone please let me knowI've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for herThough tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love herI don't want to spoil the party so I'll go

JOHN 1980: 'His song… I might have done something.'PAUL circa-1994: ''What You're Doing' was a bit of filler.
I think it was a little more mine than John's… You sometimes start a song and hope the best will arrive by the time you get to the chorus, but sometimes that's all you get, and I suspect this was one of them.
Maybe it's a better recording than it is a song, some of them are.
Sometimes a good recording would enhance a song.'

Look what you're doing, I'm feeling blue and lonely
Would it be too much to ask of you
What you're doing to me?You got me running and there's no fun in it
Why should it be so much to ask of you

Wond'ring what you're gonna do

And should you need a love that's true
It's mePlease stop your lying, you've got me crying, girl
Why should it be so much to ask of you
What you're doing to me?I've been waiting here for you
Wond'ring what you're gonna do
And should you need a love that's true
It's mePlease stop your lying, you've got me crying, girl
Why should it be so much to ask of you
What you're doing to me?
What you're doing to me?
What you're doing to me?

(Carl Perkins)
Well they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it meEverybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby nowWoke up last night, half past four
Fifty women knocking on my doorEverybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby now[Instrumental/solo]Went out last night I didn't stay late
'Fore I got home I had nineteen datesEverybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby now[Instrumental/solo]Went out last night I didn't stay late
'fore I got home I had nineteen datesEverybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby nowWell they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it meEverybody's trying to be my baby

Everybody's trying to be my baby now
Dressed it up and they called it meEverybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
