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
I’m Only Sleeping Lyrics
[Verse 1: John Lennon, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (Float up stream)
[Chorus: John Lennon, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
Please, don't wake me (Ooh-ooh)
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am (Ooh, woo-ooh)
I'm only sleeping
[Verse 2: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison, John Lennon]
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
'Till they find there's no need (There's no need)
[Chorus: John Lennon, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
Please, don't spoil my day (Woo)
I'm miles away
And after all (Ooh, woo-ooh)
I'm only sleeping
[Bridge: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison, John Lennon]
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
[Verse 3: John Lennon]
Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling
[Backwards Guitar Solo: George Harrison]
[Chorus: John Lennon, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
Please, don't spoil my day (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'm miles away
And after all (Ooh, woo-ooh)
I'm only sleeping
[Interlude: Paul McCartney]
(*Yawns*)
[Bridge: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison, John Lennon]
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
[Verse 4: John Lennon, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (Float up stream)
[Chorus: John Lennon, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
Please, don't wake me (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am (Ooh, woo-ooh)
I'm only sleeping
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
Dr. Robert Lyrics
2 ContributorsDr. Robert LyricsBeatles, The
Revolver
Dr. Robert
Ring my friend I said you'd call Doctor Robert
Day or night he'll be there anytime at all, Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert, you're a new and better man
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can, Doctor Robert
If you are down he'll pick you up, Doctor Robert
Take a drink from his special cup, Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert, he's a man you must believe
Helping anyone in need
No one can succeed like Doctor Robert
Well, well, well you're feeling fine
Well, well, well he'll make you, Doctor Robert
My friend works for the National Health, Doctor Robert
Don't pay money just to see yourself with Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert, you're a new and better man
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can, Bob Robert
Well, well, well you're feeling fine
Well, well, well he'll make you, Doctor Robert
Ring my friend I said you'd call Doctor Robert
Ring my friend I said you'd call Bob Robert

Act Naturally Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally
[Chorus]
Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar, you can never tell
The movies gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well
[Verse 2]
Well, I hope you'll come and see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
We'll make the scene about a man that's sad and lonely
And begging down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part and I won't need rehearsing
All I have to do is act naturally
[Chorus]
Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar, you can never tell
The movies gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well
[Verse 4]
Well, I hope you'll come and see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
And Your Bird Can Sing Lyrics
[Verse 1: John Lennon, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison]
Tell me that you've got everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me
You don't get me
[Verse 2: John Lennon, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison]
You say you've seen seven wonders
And your bird is green
But you can't see me
You can't see me
[Chorus: John Lennon]
When your prized possessions
Start to weigh you down
Look in my direction
I'll be 'round, I'll be 'round
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: John Lennon]
When your bird is broken
Will it bring you down?
You may be awoken
I'll be 'round, I'll be 'round
[Verse 3: John Lennon, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison]
You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
And your bird can swing
But you can't hear me
You can't hear me
[Guitar Solo Outro]
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
We Can Work It Out Lyrics
[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
[Refrain: Paul McCartney]
We can work it out
We can work it out
[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]
Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight or say good night
[Refrain: Paul McCartney]
We can work it out
We can work it out
[Bridge: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought, that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
[Verse 3: Paul McCartney]
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
[Refrain: Paul McCartney]
We can work it out
We can work it out
[Bridge: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought, that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
[Verse 3: Paul McCartney]
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
[Refrain: Paul McCartney]
We can work it out
We can work it out
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)
Day Tripper Lyrics
[Verse 1: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out, now
[Chorus: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
She was a day tripper
A one way ticket, yeah
It took me so long
To find out, and I found out
[Verse 2: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there, now
[Chorus: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
She was a day tripper
A one way ticket, yeah
It took me so long
To find out, and I found out
[Guitar Solo: John Lennon]
[Verse 3: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Tried to please her
She only played one-night stands
Tried to please her
She only played one-night stands, now
[Chorus: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
She was a day tripper
A Sunday driver, yeah
It took me so long
To find out, and I found out
[Outro: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Day tripper
Day tripper, yeah
Day tripper
Day tripper, yeah
Day tripper
