 JOHN 1980: 'I wrote that for 'A Hard Day's Night,' but Dick Lester didn't even want it. He resurrected 'Can't Buy Me Love' for that sequence instead. I like the middle-eight to that song, though that's about all I can say about it.' I've got every reason on earth to be mad Cos 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 insteadI'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 insteadDon'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 somedayAnd 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 insteadDon'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 somedayAnd when I do you'd better hide all the girls Cos 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 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 JOHN 1980: 'An effort at writing 'It Won't Be Long' – same ilk. C to A minor, C to A minor with me shouting.' Any time at all, any time at all Any time at all, all you've gotta do is call and I'll be thereIf you need somebody to love Just look into my eyes I'll be there to make you feel rightIf you're feeling sorry and sad I'd really sympathize Don't you be sad, just call me tonightAny time at all, any time at all Any time at all, all you've gotta do is call and I'll be thereIf the sun has faded away I'll try to make it shine There's nothing I won't do When you need a shoulder to cry on I hope it will be mine Call me tonight, and I'll come to youAny time at all, any time at all Any time at all, all you've gotta do is call and I'll be thereAny time at all, any time at all Any time at all, all you've gotta do is call and I'll be there Any time at all, all you've gotta do is call and I'll be there JOHN 1980: 'That's me again… another Wilson Pickett, Motown sound… a four-in-the-bar cowbell song.' Whoa-I, whoa-I I got a whole lot of things to tell her When I get home Come on, out of my way Cos I'm gonna see my baby today I've got a whole lot of things I've gotta say To herWhoa-I, whoa-I I got a whole lot of things to tell her When I get home Come on if you please I've got no time for trivialities I've got a girl who's waiting home for me tonightWhoa-I, whoa-I I got a whole lot of things to tell her When I get home When I'm getting home tonight I'm gonna hold her tight I'm gonna love her till the cows come home I bet I'll love her more Till I walk out that door AgainCome on, let me through I've got so many things I've got to do I've got no business being here with you This wayWhoa-I, whoa-I I've got a whole lot of things to tell her When I get home, yeah I've got a whole lot of things to tell her When I get home Slow Down (Larry Williams) Well, come on pretty baby, won't you walk with me?

If you want our love to last Matchbox (Carl Perkins) RINGO 1964: 'I'm featured on it. Actually it was written by Carl Perkins about six years ago. Carl came to the session. I felt very embarrassed. I did it just two days before I went in the hospital (with tonsilitis) so please forgive my throat.' Well, I'm sitting here wondering Will a matchbox hold my clothes Yeah, I'm sitting here wondering Will a matchbox hold my clothes I ain't got no matches But I got a long way to goI'm an ol' poor boy and a long way from home I'm an ol' poor boy and a long way from home Guess I'll never be happy Everything I do is wrong, yeahWell, let me be your little dog Till your big dog comes Let me be your little dog Till your big dog come When the big dog gets here Show him what this little puppy doneYeah, I'm sitting here wondering Will a matchbox hold my clothes Yeah, I'm sitting here wondering Will a matchbox hold my clothes I got no matches Got a long way to goLet 'er go boy, go, goWell, I'm sitting here wondering Will a matchbox hold my clothes Baby, I'm sitting here wondering Will a matchbox hold my clothes I ain't got no matches Got a long way to go 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 JOHN 1980: ''I'm Happy Just To Dance With You,' that was written for George to give him a piece of the action. I couldn'ta sung it.'PAUL circa-1994: 'We wrote 'I'm Happy Just To Dance With You' for George in the film. It was a bit of a formula song. We knew that in (the key of) E if you went to an A-flat-minor, you could always make a song with those chords… that change pretty much always excited you.' Before this dance is through I think I'll love you too I'm so happy when you dance with meI don't want to kiss or hold your hand If it's funny try and understand There is really nothing else I'd rather do Cos I'm happy just to dance with youI don't need to hug or hold you tight I just want to dance with you all night In this world there's nothing I would rather do Cos I'm happy just to dance with youJust to dance with you It's everything I need Before this dance is through I think I'll love you too I'm so happy when you dance with meIf somebody tries to take my place Let's pretend we just can't see his face In this world there's nothing I would rather do Cos I'm happy just to dance with youJust to dance with you It's everything I need Before this dance is through I think I'll love you too I'm so happy when you dance with meIf somebody tries to take my place Let's pretend we just can't see his face In this world there's nothing I would rather do I've discovered I'm in love with you Cos I'm happy just to dance with you 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 Oh, komm doch, komm zu mir Du nimmst mir den Verstand Oh, komm doch, komm zu mir Komm, gib mir deine Hand Komm, gib mir deine Hand Komm, gib mir deine HandOh, du bist so schön Schön wie ein Diamant Ich will mit dir gehen Komm, gib mir deine Hand Komm, gib mir deine Hand Komm, gib mir deine HandIn deinen armen bin ich glücklich und froh Das war noch nie bei einer Anderen Einmal so Einmal so Einmal soOh, komm doch, komm zu mir Du nimmst mir den Verstand Oh, komm doch, komm zu mir Komm, gib mir deine Hand Komm, gib mir deine Hand Komm, gib mir deine HandIn deinen Armen bin ich glücklich und froh Das war noch nie bei einer Anderen Einmal so Einmal so Einmal soOh, du bist so schön Schön wie ein Diamant Ich will mit dir gehen Komm, gib mir deine Hand Komm, gib mir deine Hand Komm, gib mir deine Hand Komm, gib mir deine Hand |
