 JOHN 1980: 'That's me. Just a song – It doesn't mean a damn thing.' 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 doWhoa, oh, I never realized what a kiss could be This could only happen to me Can't you see, can't you seeThat 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 tooSo 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 moreWhoa, oh, I never realized what a kiss could be This could only happen to me Can't you see, can't you seeThat 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 JOHN 1980: 'That was my first attempt at a ballad proper. That was the precursor to 'In My Life.' It has the same chord sequences as 'In My Life' – D and B minor and E minor, those kinds of things. And it's semi-autobiographical, but not consciously. It shows that I wrote sentimental love ballads – silly love songs – way back when.'PAUL 1984: 'This was our close-harmony period. We did a few songs… 'This Boy,' 'If I Fell,' 'Yes It Is' …in the same vein, which were kind of like the Fourmost – an English vocal group, only not really.' If I fell in love with you Would you promise to be true And help me understand Cause I've been in love before And I found that love was more Than just holding handsIf I give my heart to you I must be sure From the very start That you would love me more than herIf I trust in you oh please Don't run and hide If I love you too oh please Don't hurt my pride like her Cause I couldn't stand the pain And I would be sad if our new love was in vainSo I hope you see that I Would love to love you And that she will cry When she learns we are two Cause I couldn't stand the pain And I would be sad if our new love was in vainSo I hope you see that I Would love to love you And that she will cry When she learns we are two If I fell in love with you JOHN 1980: ''Tell Me Why…' they needed another upbeat song and I just knocked it off. It was like a black, New York girl-group song.'PAUL circa-1994: 'I think alot of these songs like 'Tell Me Why' were based in real life experiences… but it never occured to us until later to put that slant on it all.' Tell me why you cried And why you lied to me Tell me why you cried And why you lied to meWell, I gave you everything I had But you left me sitting on my own Did you have to treat me oh so bad? All I do is hang my head and moanTell me why you cried And why you lied to me Tell me why you cried And why you lied to meIf it's something that I've said or done Tell me what, and I'll apologize If you don't I really can't go on Holding back these tears in my eyesTell me why you cried And why you lied to me Tell me why you cried And why you lied to meWell, I beg you on my bended knees If you'll only listen to my pleas Is there anything I can do 'Cause I really can't stand it, I'm so in love with youTell me why you cried And why you lied to me Tell me why you cried And why you lied to me JOHN 1972: 'Both of us wrote it. The first half was Paul's and the middle-eight is mine.'JOHN 1980: ''And I Love Her' is Paul again. I consider it his first 'Yesterday.' You know, the big ballad in 'A Hard Day's Night.'PAUL 1984: 'It's just a love song. It wasn't for anyone. Having the title start in midsentence, I thought that was clever. Well, Perry Como did 'And I Love You So' many years later. Tried to nick the idea. I like that… it was a nice tune, that one. I still like it.' I give her all my love That's all I do And if you saw my love You'd love her too I love herShe gives me everything And tenderly The kiss my lover brings She brings to me And I love herA love like ours Could never die As long as I Have you near meBright are the stars that shine Dark is the sky I know this love of mine Will never die And I love herBright are the stars that shine Dark is the sky I know this love of mine Will never die And I love her |
