Drive My Car


(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: McCartney





Asked a girl what she wanted to be

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 maybe 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

But I can show you a better time



Baby you can drive my car

Yes I'm gonna be a star

Baby you can drive my car

And maybe I love you

Beep beep'm beep beep yeah



Baby you can drive my car

Yes I'm gonna be a star

Baby you can drive my car

And maybe I love you



I told that girl I can start right away

And she said listen baby I got something to say

I got no car and it's breaking my heart

But I've found a driver and that's a start



Baby you can drive my car



Yes I'm gonna be a star

Baby you can drive my car

And maybe I love you



Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)


(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon





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 the 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.

You Won't See Me


(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: McCartney





When I call you up

Your line's engaged

I have had enough

So act your age

We have lost the time

that was so hard to find

And I will lose my mind

If you won't see me

you won't see me



I don't know why 

you should want to hide

But I can't get through

My hands are tied

I won't want to stay

I don't have much to say

But I can't turn away

And you won't see me

you won't see me



Time after time

You refuse to even listen

I wouldn't mind

If I knew what I was missing

Though the days are few

They're filled with tears

And since I lost you

It feels like years

Yes, it seems so long

Girl, since you've been gone

And I just can't go on

If you won't see me

you won't see me



Time after time

You refuse to even listen

I wouldn't mind

If I knew what I was missing

Though the days are few

They're filled with tears

And since I lost you

It feels like years

Yes, it seems so long

Girl, since you've been gone

And I just can't go on

If you won't see me

you won't see me

Nowhere Man


(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon





He's a real nowhere man,

Sitting in his nowhere Land,

Making all his nowhere plans

For nobody.

Doesn't have 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?



Nowhere Man, don't worry,

Take your time, don't hurry,

Leave it all till somebody else

Lends you a hand.



Doesn't have 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 a real Nowhere Man,

Sitting in his Nowhere Land,

Making all his nowhere plans

For nobody.

Making all his nowhere plans

For nobody.

Making all his nowhere plans

For nobody.

Think For Yourself


(Harrison)  Lead vocal: Harrison





I've got a word or two

To say about the things that you do

You're telling all those lies

About the good things that we can have

if we close our eyes



Do what you want to do

And go where you're going to

Think for yourself

'cause I won't be there with you



I left you far behind

The ruins of the life that you have in mind

And though you still can't see

I know your mind's made up

You're gonna cause more misery



Do what you want to do

And go where you're going to

Think for yourself

'cause I won't be there with you



Although your mind's opaque

Try thinking more if just for your own sake

The future still looks good

And you've got time to rectify

All the things that you should



Do what you want to do



And go where you're going to

Think for yourself

'cause I won't be there with you





Do what you want to do

And go where you're going to

Think for yourself

'cause I won't be there with you

Think for yourself

'cause I won't be there with you

The Word


(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon





Say the word and you'll be free

Say the word and be like me

Say the word I'm thinking of

Have you heard the word is love?

It's so fine, It's sunshine

It's the word, love



In the beginning I misunderstood

But now I've got it, the word is good



Spread the word and you'll be free

Spread the word and be like be

Spread the work I'm thinking of

Have you heard the word is love?

It's so fine, It's sunshine

It's the word, love



Everywhere I go I hear it said

In the good and bad books that I have read



Say the word and you'll be free

Say the word and be like me

Say the word I'm thinking of

Have you heard the word is love?

It's so fine, It's sunshine

It's the word, love



Now that I know what I feel must be right

I'm here to show everybody the light



Give the word a chance to say

That the word is just the way

It's the word I'm thinking of

And the only word is love

It's so fine, It's sunshine



It's the word, love



Say the word, love 

Say the word, love 

Say the word, love

Say the word, love

Michelle


(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: McCartney





Michelle, ma belle.

These are words that go together well,

my Michelle.



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.



Michelle, ma belle.

Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble,

tres bien ensemble.





I need to, I need to, I need to

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.



Michelle, ma belle.

Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble,

tres bien ensemble.



I will say the only words I know 

that you'll understand, my Michelle.

What Goes On


(Lennon/McCartney/Starr)  Lead vocal: Starr





What goes on in your heart?

What goes on in your mind?

You are tearing me apart

When you treat me so unkind

What goes on in your mind?



The other day I saw you

As I walked along the road

But when I saw him with you

I could feel my future fold

It's so easy for a girl like you to lie

Tell me why



What goes on in your heart?

What goes on in your mind?

You are tearing me apart

When you treat me so unkind

What goes on in your mind?



I met you in the morning

waiting for the tides of time

But now the tide is turning

I can see that I was blind

It's so easy for a girl like you to lie

Tell me why



What goes on in your heart?



I used to think of no one else

But you were just the same

You didn't even think of me

As someone with a name

Did you mean to break my heart and watch me die

Tell me why



What goes on in your heart?

What goes on in your mind?

You are tearing me apart

When you treat me so unkind

What goes on in your mind?

Girl


(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon







Is there anybody going 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!



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 fame

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!



Ah girl! Girl! Girl!

I'm Looking Through You


(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: McCartney





I'm looking through you, where did you go                   

I thought I knew you, what did I know

You don't look different, but you have changed

I'm looking through you, you're not the same



Your lips are moving, I cannot hear

Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear

You don't sound different, I've learned the game.

I'm looking through you, you're not the same



Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?

Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight



You're thinking of me, the same old way

You were above me, but not today

The only difference is you're down there

I'm looking through you, and you're nowhere



Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?

Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight



I'm looking through you, where did you go                   

I thought I knew you, what did I know

You don't look different, but you have changed

I'm looking through you, you're not the same

In My Life


(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon





There are places I 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

Wait


(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocals: Lennon and McCartney





It's been a long time

Now I'm coming back home

I've been away now

Oh how I've been alone



Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried



But if your heart breaks

Don't wait, turn me away

And if your heart's strong

Hold on, I won't delay



Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried



I feel as though

You ought to know

That I've been good

As good as I can be

And if you do

I'll trust in you

And know that you

Will wait for me



It's been a long time

Now I'm coming back home

I've been away now

Oh how I've been alone

Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried



I feel as though

You ought to know

That I've been good

As good as I can be

And if you do

I'll trust in you

And know that you

Will wait for me



But if your heart breaks

Don't wait, turn me away

And if your heart's strong

Hold on, I won't delay

Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried



It's been a long time

Now I'm coming back home

I've been away now

Oh how I've been alone

If I Needed Someone


(Harrison)  Lead vocal: Harrison







If I needed someone to love

You're the one that I'd be thinking of

If I needed someone



If I had some more time to spend

Then I guess I'd be with you my friend



If I needed someone



Had you come some other day 

Then it might not have been like this

But you see now I'm too much in love



Carve your number on my wall

And maybe you will get a call from me

If I needed someone

Ah, ah, ah, ah



If I had some more time to spend

Then I guess I'd be with you my friend

If I needed someone



Had you come some other day 

Then it might not have been like this

But you see now I'm too much in love



Carve your number on my wall

And maybe you will get a call from me

If I needed someone

Ah, ah

Run For Your Life


(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon





Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl

than to be with another man

You better keep your head, little girl

or I won't know where I am



You better run for your life if you can, little girl

Hide your head in the sand little girl

Catch you with another man 

That's the end'a little girl



Well I know that I'm a wicked guy

And I was born with a jealous mind

And I can't spend my whole life

trying just to make you toe the line



You better run for your life if you can, little girl

Hide your head in the sand little girl

Catch you with another man 

That's the end'a little girl



Let this be a sermon

I mean everything I've said

Baby, I'm determined

And I'd rather see you dead



You better run for your life if you can, little girl

Hide your head in the sand little girl

Catch you with another man

That's the end'a little girl



I'd rather see you dead, little girl

than to be with another man

You better keep your head, little girl

or you won't know where I am



You better run for your life if you can, little girl

Hide your head in the sand little girl

Catch you with another man

That's the end'a little girl

Na, na, na

Na, na, na

Na, na, na

Na, na, na
