Track Lyrics
Drive My Car Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said, "Baby, can't you see?
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen
But you can do something in between"
[Chorus]
"Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you"
[Verse 2]
I told that 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"
[Chorus]
"Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you"
Beep-beep'm-beep-beep, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
"Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you"
[Verse 3]
I told that girl I could start right away
When she said, "Listen, babe, I got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I found a driver and that's a start"
[Chorus]
"Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you"
[Outro]
Beep-beep'm-beep-beep, yeah
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) Lyrics
1 ContributorNorwegian wood LyricsI 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 a 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 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
If you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)
[Verse 2]
I don't know why you (Ooh, la, la-la)
Should want to hide (Ooh, la, la-la)
But I can't get through (Ooh, la, la-la)
My hands are tied (Ooh, la, la-la)
I won't want to stay (Ooh, la, la-la)
I don't have much to say (Ooh, la, la-la)
But I get turned away (Ooh, la, la-la)
[Chorus]
And you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)
[Bridge]
Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing (No, I wouldn't, no, I wouldn't)
[Verse 3]
Though the days are few (Ooh, la, la-la)
They're filled with tears (Ooh, la, la-la)
And since I lost you (Ooh, la, la-la)
It feels like years (Ooh, la, la-la)
Yes, it seems so long (Ooh, la, la-la)
Girl, since you've been gone (Ooh, la, la-la)
And I just can't go on (Ooh, la, la-la)
[Chorus]
If you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)
[Bridge]
Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing (No, I wouldn't, no, I wouldn't)
[Verse 3]
Though the days are few (Ooh, la, la-la)
They're filled with tears (Ooh, la, la-la)
And since I lost you (Ooh, la, la-la)
It feels like years (Ooh, la, la-la)
Yes, it seems so long (Ooh, la, la-la)
Girl, since you've been gone (Ooh, la, la-la)
And I just can't go on (Ooh, la, la-la)
[Chorus]
If you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me) (Yeah)
[Outro]
Ooh, la, la-la (Yeah, yeah)
Ooh, la, la-la
Ooh, la, la-la
Nowhere Man Lyrics
[Verse 1: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
[Verse 2: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Nowhere man, please listen (Ahh, la, la, la)
You don't know what you're missing (Ahh, la, la, la)
Nowhere man, the world (Ahh, la, la, la)
Is at your command (Ahh, la-la-la-la)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all?
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Nowhere man, don't worry (Ahh, la, la, la)
Take your time, don't hurry (Ahh, la, la, la)
Leave it all till somebody else (Ahh, la, la, la)
Lends you a hand (Ahh, la-la-la-la)
[Verse 2: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Nowhere man, please listen (Ahh, la, la, la)
You don't know what you're missing (Ahh, la, la, la)
Nowhere man, the world (Ahh, la, la, la)
Is at your command (Ahh, la-la-la-la)
[Verse 1: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
[Outro: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Think for Yourself Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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 Lyrics
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
In the beginning, I misunderstood
But now I've got it, the word is good
[Chorus]
Spread the word and you'll be free
Spread the word and be like me
Spread 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
[Verse 2]
Everywhere I go, I hear it said
In the good and the bad books that I have read
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Now that I know what I feel must be right
I'm here to show everybody the light
[Bridge]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Say the word, love
Say the word, love
Say the word, love
Say the word, love
What Goes On Lyrics
[Chorus]
What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearin' me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind?
[Verse 1]
The other day I saw you (Ooh)
As I walked along the road (Ooh)
But when I saw him with you (Ooh)
I could feel my future fold (Ooh)
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tell me why
[Chorus]
What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearin' me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind?
[Verse 2]
I met you in the morning (Ooh)
Waiting for the tides of time (Ooh)
But now the tide is turning (Ooh)
I can see that I was blind (Ooh)
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tell me why
What goes on in your heart?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I used to think of no one else (Ooh)
But you were just the same (Ooh)
You didn't even think of me (Ooh)
As someone with a name (Ooh)
Did you mean to break my heart and watch me die? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tell me why
[Chorus]
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?
(In your mind, in your mind)
Girl Lyrics
[Verse 1: John 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
[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison]
Ah, girl
Girl, girl
[Verse 2: John Lennon]
When I think of all the times I've tried so hard 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 time, I don't know why
[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison]
Ah, girl
Girl, girl
[Bridge: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
She's the kind of girl who puts you down (Tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit)
When friends are there, you feel a fool (Tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit)
(Tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit)
When you say she's looking good (Tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit)
She acts as if it's understood (Tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit)
She's cool, ooh, ooh, ooh (Tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit)
[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison]
Girl
Girl, girl
[Verse 3: John Lennon]
Was she told when she was young that pain 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?
[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison]
Ah, girl
Girl, girl
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison]
Ah, girl
Girl, girl
I’m Looking Through You Lyrics
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Yeah, oh, baby, you've changed
Ah, I'm looking through you
Yeah, I'm looking through you
You changed, you changed, you changed, you changed, you changed
In My Life Lyrics
[Verse 1: John Lennon, John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Bridge: John Lennon, John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
All these places had 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
[Verse 2: John Lennon, John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Bridge: John Lennon, John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
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
[Piano Solo]
[Chorus: John Lennon, John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
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
[Outro: John Lennon]
In my life, I love you more
Wait Lyrics
[Verse 1: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home
I've been away now, oh, how I've been alone
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
[Verse 2: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
But if your heart breaks, don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong, hold on, I won't delay
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
[Bridge: Paul McCartney]
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
[Verse 1: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home
I've been away now, oh, how I've been alone
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
[Bridge: Paul McCartney]
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
[Verse 2: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
But if your heart breaks, don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong, hold on, I won't delay
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
[Outro: John Lennon and Paul McCartney]
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 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I needed someone to love
You're the one that I'd be thinking of
If I needed someone
[Verse 2]
If I had some more time to spend
Then I guess I'd be with you, my friend
If I needed someone
[Chorus]
Had you come some other day
Then it might not have been like this
But you see now I'm too much in love
[Verse 3]
Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone
[Interlude]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
[Verse 2]
If I had some more time to spend
Then I guess I'd be with you, my friend
If I needed someone
[Chorus]
Had you come some other day
Then it might not have been like this
But you see now I'm too much in love
[Outro]
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 Lyrics
[Verse 1: John 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
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
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, little girl
[Verse 2: John Lennon]
Well, you 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
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
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, little girl
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: John Lennon]
Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby, I'm determined
And I'd rather see you dead
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
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, little girl
[Verse 1: John Lennon]
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
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
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, little girl
[Outro: John Lennon]
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
