JOHN 1963: 'I always hate singing the song, 'Twist And Shout' when there's a colored artist on the bill with us. It doesn't seem right, you know. I feel sort of embarrassed… It makes me curl up. I always feel they could do the song much better than me.'JOHN 1971: 'The more interesting songs to me were the black ones because they were more simple. They sort of said shake-your-arse, or your prick, which was an innovation really. The blacks were singing directly and immediately about their pain, and also about sex, which is why I like it.'JOHN 1976: 'The last song nearly killed me. My voice wasn't the same for a long time after – everytime I swallowed it was like sandpaper. I was always bitterly ashamed of it because I could sing it better than that, but now it doesn't bother me. You can hear I'm just a frantic guy doing his best.'PAUL 1988: 'There's a power in John's voice there that certainly hasn't been equaled since. And I know exactly why – It's because he worked his bollocks off that day. We left 'Twist And Shout' until the very last thing because we knew there was one take.'RINGO 1994: 'We started (recording the album) about noon and finished it at midnight, with John being really hoarse by 'Twist And Shout.'' Well, shake it up, baby, now (Shake it up, baby) Twist and shout (Twist and shout) C'mon c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now (Come on baby) Come on and work it on out (Work it on out)Well, work it on out, honey (Work it on out) You know you look so good (Look so good) You know you got me goin' now (Got me goin') Just like I knew you would (Like I knew you would)Well, shake it up, baby, now (Shake it up, baby) Twist and shout (Twist and shout) C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now (Come on, baby) Come on and work it on out (Work it on out)Well, you twist, you little girl (Twist, little girl) You know you twist so fine (Twist so fine) Come on and twist a little closer now (Twist a little closer) And let me know that you're mine (Let me know you're mine)Well, shake it up, baby, now (Shake it up, baby) Twist and shout (Twist and shout) C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now (Come on, baby) Come on and work it on out (Work it on out)Well, you twist, you little girl (Twist, little girl) You know you twist so fine (Twist so fine) Come on and twist a little closer now (Twist a little closer) And let me know that you're mine (Let me know you're mine)Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now (Shake it up baby) Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now (Shake it up baby) Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now (Shake it up baby) JOHN 1980: 'That's Paul with some contribution from me on lines, probably. We put in the words 'turns me on.' We were so excited to say 'turn me on' – you know, about marijuana and all that… using it as an expression.'PAUL circa-1994: 'This was my attempt at a bluesy thing… instead of doing a Little Richard song, whom I admire greatly, I would use the (vocal) style I would have used for that but put it in one of my own songs.' My love don't give me presents I know that she's no peasant Only ever has to give me Love forever and forever My love don't give me presents Turn me on when I get lonely People tell me that she's only Fooling, I know she isn'tShe don't give the boys the eye She hates to see me cry She is happy just to hear me say That I will never leave her She don't give the boys the eye She will never make me jealous Gives me all her time as well as Loving, don't ask me whyShe's a woman who understands She's a woman who loves her manMy love don't give me presents I know that she's no peasant Only ever has to give me love Forever and forever My love don't give me presents Turn me on when I get lonely People tell me that she's only Fooling, I know she isn'tShe's a woman who understands She's a woman who loves her manMy love don't give me presents I know that she's no peasant Only ever has to give me Love forever and forever My love don't give me presents Turn me on when I get lonely People tell me that she's only Fooling, I know she isn'tShe's a woman, she's a woman She's a woman, she's a woman Dizzy Miss Lizzy (Larry Williams) You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy The way you rock and roll You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy When we do the stroll Come on, Miss Lizzy Love me before I grow too oldCome on, give me fever Put your little hand in mine You make me dizzy, dizzy Lizzy Oh girl, you look so fine Just a-rocking and a-rolling Girl I said I wish you were mineYou make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy When you call my name Oooooh baby Say you're driving me insane C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon baby I want to be your lover manRun and tell your mama I want you to be my bride Run and tell your brother Baby, don't run and hide You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy Girl I want to marry youCome on, give me fever Put your little hand in mine, girl You make me dizzy, dizzy Lizzy Girl, you look so fine You're just a-rocking and a-rolling Oh I said I wish you were mine GEORGE 1965: 'We are always worried with each record. With 'Ticket To Ride' we were even more worried. There's bound to be a time when we come in at 19 (on the charts). But this 'number one' business doesn't seem to stop – great while it lasts – but now we'll have to start all over again and people will start predicting funny things for the next one.'JOHN 1970: 'It's a heavy record, and the drums are heavy too. That's why I like it.'JOHN 1980: 'That was one of the earliest heavy-metal records made. Paul's contribution was the way Ringo played the drums.'PAUL circa-1994: 'I think the interesting thing is the crazy ending – instead of ending like the previous verse, we changed the tempo. We picked up one of the lines, 'My baby don't care,' but completely altered the melody. We almost invented the idea of a new bit of a song on the fade-out with this song… It was quite radical at the time.' I think I'm gonna be sad I think it's today, yeah The girl that's driving me mad Is going awayShe's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride But she don't careShe said that living with me Is bringing her down, yeah For she would never be free When I was aroundShe's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride But she don't careI don't know why she's riding so high She ought to think twice She ought to do right by me Before she gets to saying goodbye She ought to think twice She ought to do right by meI think I'm gonna be sad I think it's today, yeah The girl that's driving me mad Is going away, yeahOh, 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 careI don't know why she's riding so high She ought to think twice She ought to do right by me Before she gets to saying goodbye She ought to think twice She ought to do right by meShe said that living with me Is bringing her down, yeah For she would never be free When I was aroundAh, 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 careMy baby don't care, my baby don't care My baby don't care, my baby don't care My baby don't care, my baby don't care (fade out) JOHN 1972: 'John and Paul, but mainly Paul.'JOHN 1980: 'That's Paul completely. Maybe I had something to do with the chorus, but I don't know. I always considered it his song.'PAUL 1984: 'We recorded it in France, as I recall. Went over to the Odeon in Paris. Recorded it over there. Felt proud because Ella Fitzgerald recorded it, too, though we didn't realize what it meant that she was doing it.'PAUL circa-1994: ''Can't Buy Me Love' is my attempt to write a bluesy mode. The idea behind it was that all these material possessions are all very well but they won't buy me what I really want.' Can't buy me love, love Can't buy me loveI'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 loveI'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 I don't care too much for money Money can't buy me loveCan't buy me love, everybody tells me so Can't buy me love, no, no, no, noSay you don't need no diamond rings And I'll be satisfied Tell me that you want the kind of things That money just can't buy I don't care too much for money Money can't buy me loveCan't buy me love, everybody tells me so Can't buy me love, no, no, no, noSay you don't need no diamond rings And I'll be satisfied Tell me that you want the kind of things That money just can't buy I don't care too much for money Money can't buy me loveCan't buy me love, love Can't buy me love, oh JOHN 1980: 'Paul's. Good song.'PAUL circa-1994: 'I wrote 'Things We Said Today' on acoustic (guitar). It was a slightly nostalgic thing already, a future nostalgia: we'll remember the things we said today, sometime in the future, so the song projects itself into the future and then is nostalgic about the moment we're living now, which is quite a good trick.' You say you will love me If I have to go You'll be thinking of me Somehow I will know Someday when I'm lonely Wishing you weren't so far away Then I will remember Things we said todayYou say you'll be mine, girl Till the end of time These days such a kind girl Seems so hard to find Someday when we're dreaming Deep in love, not a lot to say Then we will remember Things we said todayMe, I'm just the lucky kind Love to hear you say that love is luck And though we may be blind Love is here to stay and that's enoughTo make you mine, girl Be the only one Love me all the time, girl We'll go on and on Someday when we're dreaming Deep in love, not a lot to say Then we will remember Things we said todayMe, I'm just the lucky kind Love to hear you say that love is luck Though we may be blind Love is here to stay and that's enoughTo make you mine, girl Be the only one Love me all the time, girl We'll go on and on Someday when we're dreaming Deep in love, not a lot to say Then we will remember Things we said today Roll Over Beethoven (Chuck Berry) Well gonna write a little letter Gonna mail it to my local D.J. It's a rocking little record I want my jockey to play Roll over Beethoven Gotta hear it again todayYou know my temperature's rising And the jukebox blows a fuse My heart beating rhythm While my soul keeps singing the blues Roll over Beethoven And tell Tchaikovsky the newsI got a rocking pneumonia I need a shot of rhythm and blues I think I caught it off the writer Sittin' down by the rhythm reviews Roll over Beethoven We're rockin' in two by twoWell if you feel it and like it Well get your lover and reel and rock it Roll it over and move on up Just triffle further and reel and rock it Roll it over Roll over Beethoven A rocking in two by two - OooWell early in the morning I'm a giving you the warning Don't you step on my blue suede shoes Hey diddle diddle I'll play my fiddle Ain't got nothing to lose Roll over Beethoven And tell Tchaikovsky the newsYou know she wiggles like a glow worm Dance like a spinning top She's got a crazy partner Oughta see them reel an rock Long as she's got a dime The music will never stop Roll over Beethoven Roll over Beethoven Roll over Beethoven Roll over Beethoven Roll over Beethoven Dig to these rhythm and blues I been told when a boy kiss a girl Take a trip around the world Hey, hey (Bop shuop, m'bop bop shuop) Hey, hey (Bop shuop, m'bop bop shuop) Hey, hey, (Bop shuop) yeah, she say ya do (Bop shuop)My girl says when I kiss her lips Gets a thrill through her fingertips Hey, hey (Bop shuop, m'bop bop shuop) Hey, hey (Bop shuop, m'bop bop shuop) Hey, hey, (Bop shuop) yeah, she say ya do (Bop shuop)Well, I talk about boys Don't ya know I mean boys Well, I talk about boys, now Aaahhh, boys Well, I talk about boys, now What a bundle of joy! (Alright, George!)My girl says when I kiss her lips Gets a thrill through her fingertips Hey, hey (Bop shuop, m'bop bop shuop) Hey, hey (Bop shuop, m'bop bop shuop) Hey, hey, (Bop shuop) yeah, she say ya do (Bop shuop)Well, I talk about boys Don't ya know I mean boys Well, I talk about boys, now Aaahhh, boys Well, I talk about boys, now What a bundle of joy!Oh, oh, ah yeah boys Don't ya know I mean boys? Ooh, boys Ah ha Well I talk about boys now RINGO 1964: 'We went to do a job, and we'd worked all day and we happened to work all night. I came up still thinking it was day I suppose, and I said, 'It's been a hard day…' and I looked around and saw it was dark so I said, '…night!' So we came to 'A Hard Day's Night.''JOHN 1980: 'I was going home in the car and Dick Lester suggested the title, 'Hard Day's Night' from something Ringo had said. I had used it in 'In His Own Write,' but it was an off-the-cuff remark by Ringo. You know, one of those malapropisms. A Ringo-ism, where he said it not to be funny… just said it. So Dick Lester said, 'We are going to use that title.' And the next morning I brought in the song… 'cuz there was a little competition between Paul and I as to who got the A-side – who got the hits. If you notice, in the early days the majority of singles, in the movies and everything, were mine… in the early period I'm dominating the group. The only reason he sang on 'A Hard Day's Night' was because I couldn't reach the notes. (sings) 'When I'm home/ everything seems to be right/ when I'm home…' – which is what we'd do sometimes. One of us couldn't reach a note but he wanted a different sound, so he'd get the other to do the harmony.'PAUL circa-1994: 'The title was Ringo's. We'd almost finished making the film, and this fun bit arrived that we'd not known about before, which was naming the film. So we were sitting around at Twickenham studios having a little brain-storming session… and we said, 'Well, there was something Ringo said the other day.' Ringo would do these little malapropisms, he would say things slightly wrong, like people do, but his were always wonderful, very lyrical… they were sort of magic even though he was just getting it wrong. And he said after a concert, 'Phew, it's been a hard day's night.'' It's been a hard day's night, and I've 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 find the things that you do Will make me feel alrightYou 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, cos when I get you alone You know I feel OKWhen I'm home everything seems to be right When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeahIt's been a hard day's night, and I've 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 find the things that you do Will make me feel alright owwwSo why on earth should I moan, cos when I get you alone You know I feel OKWhen I'm home everything seems to be right When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeahIt's been a hard day's night, and I've 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 find the things that you do Will make me feel alright You know I feel alright You know I feel alright JOHN 1965: 'We think it's one of the best we've written.'JOHN 1980: 'The whole Beatle thing was just beyond comprehension. When 'Help' came out, I was actually crying out for help. Most people think it's just a fast rock 'n roll song. I didn't realize it at the time; I just wrote the song because I was commissioned to write it for the movie. But later, I knew I really was crying out for help. So it was my fat Elvis period. You see the movie: He – I – is very fat, very insecure, and he's completely lost himself. And I am singing about when I was so much younger and all the rest, looking back at how easy it was. Now I may be very positive… yes, yes… but I also go through deep depressions where I would like to jump out the window, you know. It becomes easier to deal with as I get older; I don't know whether you learn control or, when you grow up, you calm down a little. Anyway, I was fat and depressed and I was crying out for help.'PAUL 1984: 'John wrote that… well, John and I wrote it at his house in Weybridge for the film. I think the title was out of desperation.' Help! I need somebody Help! Not just anybody Help! You know I need someone Help!(When) When I was younger (When I was young) so much younger than today (I never need) I never needed anybody's help in any way (Now) But now these days are gone (These days are gone) and I'm not so self assured (And now I find) Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doorsHelp 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?(Now) And now my life has changed (My life has changed) in oh so many ways (My independence) My independence seems to vanish in the haze (But) But ev'ry now (Every now and then) and then I feel so insecure (I know that I) I know that I just need you like I've never done beforeHelp 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 (Now) But now these days are gone (These days are gone) and I'm not so self assured (And now I find) Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doorsHelp 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 Ooh JOHN 1972: 'This was one of his first biggies.'JOHN 1980: ''All My Loving' is Paul, I regret to say. Because it's a damn fine piece of work. But I play a pretty mean guitar in back.'PAUL 1984: 'Yeah, I wrote that one. It was the first song I ever wrote where I had the words before the music. I wrote the words on a bus on tour, then we got the tune when I arrived there. The first time I've ever worked upside down.'PAUL 1988: 'I think that was the first song where I wrote the words without the tune. I wrote the words on the tour bus during our tour with Roy Orbison. We did alot of writing then.'PAUL circa-1994: 'It was a good show song. It worked well live.' 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 every day And I'll send all my loving to youI'll pretend that I'm 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 youAll my loving I will send to you All my loving, darling I'll be trueClose 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 every day And I'll send all my loving to youAll my loving I will send to you All my loving, darling I'll be true All my loving, all my loving ooh All my loving I will send to you JOHN 1963: 'We wrote that two days before we recorded it, actually.'PAUL 1963: 'John and I wrote it together. We were in a van up in Newcastle somewhere, and we'd just gone over to our hotel. I originally got an idea of doing one of those answering songs, where a couple of us sing about 'she loves you' …and the other one sort of says the 'yes, yes' bit. You know, 'yeah yeah' answering whoever is saying it. But we decided that was a crummy idea anyway. But we had the idea to write a song called 'She Loves You' then. And we just sat up in the hotel bedroom for a few hours and wrote it, you know.'JOHN 1963: ''Yeah.' That's sort of the main catch phrase from 'She Loves You.' We'd written the song, and then suddenly realized we needed more… so we added 'yeah, yeah, yeah' and it caught on.'JOHN 1980: 'It was written together (with Paul) and I don't remember how. I remember it was Paul's idea – instead of singing 'I love you' again, we'd have a third party. The 'Woooo' was taken from the Isley Brothers 'Twist And Shout,' which we stuck into everything.'PAUL 1982: 'Occasionally, we'd overrule George Martin, like on 'She Loves You,' we end on a sixth chord, a very jazzy sort of thing. And he said, 'Oh, you can't do that! A sixth chord? It's too jazzy.' We just said, 'No, it's a great hook, we've got to do it.''PAUL 1988: 'We rehearsed the end bit of 'She Loves You' and took it to George. And he just laughed and said, 'Well, you can't do the end of course… that sixth… it's too like the Andrew Sisters.' We just said, 'Alright, we'll try it without,' and we tried it and it wasn't as good. Then he conceded, 'You're right, I guess.' But we were both very flexible. We would listen to George's ideas too, because he was a producer and a musician, and he obviously knew what he was talking about. There was good to-and-fro. We loved that bit, and we rehearsed it alot. John and I wrote that in a hotel room, on twin beds during an afternoon off – I mean, God bless their little cotton socks, those boys WORKED! Here I am talking about an afternoon off, and we're sitting there writing! We just loved it so much. It wasn't work.' She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahYou think you lost your love Well, I saw her yesterday It's you she's thinking of And she told me what to sayShe says she loves you And you know that can't be bad Yes, she loves you And you know you should be gladShe said you hurt her so She almost lost her mind But now she says she knows You're not the hurting kindShe says she loves you And you know that can't be bad Yes, she loves you And you know you should be glad, oohShe loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah And with a love like that You know you should be gladYou know it's up to you I think it's only fair Pride can hurt you too Apologize to herBecause she loves you And you know that can't be bad Yes, she loves you And you know you should be glad, oohShe loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah With a love like that You know you should be glad With a love like that You know you should be glad With a love like that You know you should be glad Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John He said he had the misery but he got a lot of fun Baby, yeah now baby Woo baby, some fun tonightI saw Uncle John with Long Tall Sally He saw Aunt Mary coming and he ducked back in the alley Oh, baby, yeah now baby Woo baby, some fun tonightWell Long Tall Sally's built pretty sweet She got everything that Uncle John need Baby, yeah now baby Woo baby, some fun tonightWell, we're gonna have some fun tonight Have some fun tonight Everything's all right Have some fun tonight Have some fun Yeah, yeah, yeah, We're gonna have some fun tonight Have some fun tonight Everything's all right Have some fun tonight Yeah, we'll have some fun Some fun tonight JOHN 1964: 'I'd find it a drag to play rhythm all the time, so I always work myself out something interesting to play. The best example I can think of is like I did on 'You Can't Do That.' There really isn't a lead guitarist and a rhythm guitarist on that, because I feel the rhythm guitarist role sounds too thin for records. Anyway it drove me potty to play chunk-chunk rhythm all the time. I never play anything as lead guitarist that George couldn't do better. But I like playing lead sometimes, so I do it.'JOHN 1980: 'That's me doing Wilson Pickett. You know, a cowbell going four-in-the bar, and the chord going 'chatoong!'' I got something to say that might cause you pain If I catch you talking to that boy again I'm gonna let you down And leave you flat Because I told you before, oh You can't do thatWell, it's the second time I've caught you talking to him Do I have to tell you one more time, I think it's a sin I think I'll let you down (Let you down) Leave you flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat) Because I've told you before, oh You can't do thatEverybody's green Cos I'm the one who won your love But if they'd seen You're talking that way they'd laugh in my faceSo please listen to me, if you wanna stay mine I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind I'm gonna let you down (Let you down) And leave you flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat) Because I've told you before, oh You can't do that, oh(You can't do that You can't do that You can't do that You can't do that You can't do that)Everybody's green Cos I'm the one who won your love But if they'd seen You're talking that way they'd laugh in my faceSo please listen to me, if you wanna stay mine I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind I'm gonna let you down (Let you down) And leave you flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat) Because I've told you before, oh You can't do that PAUL 1964: 'Let's see, we were told we had to get down to it. So we found this house when we were walking along one day. We knew we had to really get this song going, so we got down in the basement of this disused house and there was an old piano. It wasn't really disused, it was rooms to let. We found this old piano and started banging away. There was a little old organ too. So we were having this informal jam and we started banging away. Suddenly a little bit came to us, the catch line. So we started working on it from there. We got our pens and paper out and just wrote down the lyrics. Eventually, we had some sort of a song, so we played it for our recording manager and he seemed to like it. We recorded it the next day.'JOHN 1980: 'We wrote alot of stuff together, one on one, eyeball to eyeball. Like in 'I Want To Hold Your Hand,' I remember when we got the chord that made the song. We were in Jane Asher's house, downstairs in the cellar playing on the piano at the same time. And we had, 'Oh you-u-u/ got that something…' And Paul hits this chord, and I turn to him and say, 'That's it!' I said, 'Do that again!' In those days, we really used to absolutely write like that – both playing into each other's noses.'PAUL circa-1994: ''Eyeball to eyeball' is a very good description of it. That's exactly how it was. 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' was very co-written.' Oh yeah, I'll tell you something I think you'll understand Then I'll say that something I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your handOh please, say to me You'll let me be your man And please, say to me You'll let me hold your hand Now let me hold your hand I wanna hold your handAnd when I touch you I feel happy Inside It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide I can't hide I can't hideYeah, you got that something I think you'll understand Then I'll say that something I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your handAnd when I touch you I feel happy Inside It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide I can't hide I can't hideYeah, you got that something I think you'll understand When I feel that something I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your hand Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby (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 Everybody's trying to be my baby now 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 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?Oh how long it will 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 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? |
