Lyrics:


She Loves You.
(Lennon-McCartney)

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah 
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah 
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

You think you lost your love, 
When I saw her yesterday. 
It's you she's thinking of 
And she told me what to say. 
She says she loves you 
And you know that can't be bad. 
Yes, she loves you 
And you know you should be glad. Ooh! 

She said you were to know 
That she almost lost her mind. 
And now she says she knows 
You're not the hurting kind. 
She says she loves you 
And you know that can't be bad. 
Yes, she loves you 
And you know you should be glad. Ooh! 

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah 
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah 
And with a love like that 
You know you should be glad. 

And now it's up to you, 
I think it's only fair, 
If I should hurt you, too, 
Apologize to her 
Because she loves you 
And you know that can't be bad. 
Yes, she loves you 
And you know you should be glad. Ooh! 

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah 
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah 
And with a love like that 
You know you should be glad.


From Me to You.
(Lennon-McCartney)

If there's anything that you want, 
If there's anything I can do, 
Just call on me and I'll send it along 
With love from me to you. 

I've got everything that you want, 
Like a heart that is oh, so true. 
Just call on me and I'll send it along 
With love from me to you. 

I got arms that long to hold you 
And keep you by my side. 
I got lips that long to kiss you 
And keep you satisfied, oooh. 

If there's anything that you want, 
If there's anything I can do, 
Just call on me and I'll send it along 
With love from me to you. 
From me, to you. 
Just call on me and I'll send it along 
With love from me to you. 

I got arms that long to hold you 
And keep you by my side. 
I got lips that long to kiss you 
And keep you satisfied, oooh. 

If there's anything that you want, 
If there's anything I can do, 
Just call on me and I'll send it along 
With love from me to you. 
To you, to you, to you.


We Can Work It out.
(Lennon-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. 
We can work it out, 
We can work it out. 

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. 
We can work it out, 
We can work it out. 

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. 

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 may fall apart before too long. 
We can work it out, 
We can work it out. 

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. 

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 may fall apart before too long. 
We can work it out, 
We can work it out.


Help!
(Lennon-McCartney)

Help, I need somebody, 
Help, not just anybody, 
Help, you know I need someone, help. 

When I was younger, so much younger than today, 
I never needed anybody's help in any way. 
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured, 
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors. 

Help 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. 

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways, 
My independence seems to vanish in the haze. 
But every now and then I feel so insecure, 
I know that I just need you like I've never done before. 

Help 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. 
But now these daya are gone, I'm not so self assured, 
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors. 

Help 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, oh.


Michelle.
(Lennon-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. 

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.


Yesterday.
(Lennon-McCartney)

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half to man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly. 

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday. 

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday. 

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday. 

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday. 

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.


I Feel Fine.
(Lennon-McCartney)

Baby's good to me, you know, 
She's happy as can be, you know, 
She said so. 
I'm in love with her and I feel fine. 

Baby says she's mine, you know, 
She tells me all the time, you know, 
She said so. 
I'm in love with her and I feel fine. 

I'm so glad that she's my little girl. 
She's so glad, she's telling all the world. 

That her baby buys her things, you know. 
He buys her diamond rings, you know, 
She said so. 
She's in love with me and I feel fine, mmm. 

Baby says she's mine, you know, 
She tells me all the time, you know, 
She said so. 
I'm in love with her and I feel fine. 

I'm so glad that she's my little girl. 
She's so glad, she's telling all the world 

That her baby buys her things, you know. 
He buys her diamond rings, you know, 
She said so. 
She's in love with me and I feel fine, mmm, mmm.


Yellow Submarine.
(Lennon-McCartney)

In the town where I was born 
Lived a man who sailed to sea 
And he told us of his life 
In the land of submarines.

So we sailed up to the sun 
Till we found the sea of green 
And we lived beneath the waves 
In our yellow submarine.

We all live in our yellow submarine, 
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine 
We all live in our yellow submarine, 
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

And our friends are all on board 
Many more of them live next door 
And the band begins to play.

We all live in our yellow submarine, 
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine 
We all live in our yellow submarine, 
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

As we live a life of ease 
Everyone of us has all we need 
Sky of blue and sea of green 
In our yellow submarine. 

We all live in our yellow submarine, 
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine 
We all live in our yellow submarine, 
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

We all live in our yellow submarine, 
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine 
We all live in our yellow submarine, 
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.


Can't Buy Me Love.
(Lennon-McCartney)

Can't buy me love, love 
Can't buy me love.

I'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 love.

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you love me too 
I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you 
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so 
Can't buy me love, no no no, no.

Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied 
Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy 
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.


Bad Boy.
(Larry Williams)

A bad little kid moved in to my neighborhood 
He won't do nothing right just sitting down and looks so good 
He don't want to go to school and learn to read and write 
Just sits around the house and plays that rock and roll music all night 
Well, he put some tacks on teachers chair 
Puts chewing gum in little girl's hair 
Now, junior, behave yourself! 

Buy every rock and roll book on the magazine stand 
Every dime that he get-ooh is lost to the jukebox man 
Well he worries his teacher till at night she's a-ready to poop 
From rockin' and a-rollin', spinnin' in a hula hoop! 
Well this rock and roll has gotta stop 
Junior's head is hard as rock 
Now, junior, behave yourself! ow!

Gonna tell your mama, you better do what she said 
Get to the barber shop and get that hair cut off your head 
Threw the canary and you fed it to the neighbors cat 
You gave the cocker spaniel a bath in mother's laundromat 
Well, mama's head has got to stop 
Junior's head is hard as rock 
Now, junior, behave yourself! 
Whoo!


Day Tripper.
(Lennon-McCartney)

Got a good reason for taking the easy way out 
Got a good reason for taking the easy way out now.

She was a day tripper, a one way ticket yea 
It took me so long to find out, and I found out.

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.

Tried to please her, she only played one night stands 
Tried to please her, she only played one night stands now.

She was a day tripper, a Sunday driver yea 
Took me so long to find out, and I found out.

Day tripper 
Day tripper yeah.


A Hard Day's Night.
(Lennon-McCartney)

It's been a hard day's night, and I 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'll find the things that you do 
Will make me feel alright.

You 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, 'cause when I get you alone 
You know I feel ok.

When I'm home everything seems to be right 
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight.

Owww! 

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone 
You know I feel ok 
You know I feel alright 
You know I feel alright.


Ticket To Ride.
(Lennon-McCartney)

I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today, yeah. 
The girl that's driving me mad is going away. 
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 care. 

She said that living with me is bringing her down yeah. 
For she would never be free when I was around. 
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 care. 

I don't know why she's ridin' 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 me. 

I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today yeah. 
The girl that's driving me mad is going away, yeah. 
She's got a ticket to ride, 
She's got a ticket to ride,

But she don't care. 

I don't know why she's ridin' so high,

She ought to think twice, 
She ought to do right by me. 

She said that living with me, is bringing her down, yeah. 
For she would never be free when I was around. 
Ah, 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 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, my baby don't care.


Paperback Writer.
(Lennon-McCartney)

Paperback writer.

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book? 
It took me years to write, will you take a look? 
Based on a novel by a man named Lear 
And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer, 
Paperback writer. 

It's the dirty story of a dirty man 
And his clinging wife doesn't understand. 
His son is working for the Daily Mail, 
It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer, 
Paperback writer. 

Paperback writer.

It's a thousand pages, give or take a few, (Frere)
I'll be writing more in a week or two. (Jacques)
I can make it longer if you like the style, (Frere)
I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer, (Jacques)
Paperback writer. 

If you really like it you can have the rights, (Frere)
It could make a million for you overnight. (Jacques)
If you must return it, you can send it here (Frere)
But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer, (Jacques)
Paperback writer. 

Paperback writer.

Paperback writer - paperback writer.
Paperback writer - paperback writer.


Eleanor Rigby.
(Lennon-McCartney)

Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Ah, look at all the lonely people.

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been 
Lives in a dream 
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door 
Who is it for? 

All the lonely people 
Where do they all come from ? 
All the lonely people 
Where do they all belong ? 

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear 
No one comes near. 
Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there 
What does he care? 

All the lonely people 
Where do they all come from? 
All the lonely people 
Where do they all belong? 

Ah, look at all the lonely people 
Ah, look at all the lonely people.

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name 
Nobody came 
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave 
No one was saved.

All the lonely people 
Where do they all come from? 
All the lonely people 
Where do they all belong?


I Want To Hold Your Hand.
(Lennon-McCartney)

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something, 
I think you'll understand. 
When I'll say that something 
I want to hold your hand, 
I want to hold your hand, 
I want to hold your hand. 

Oh 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 want to hold your hand. 

And 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 hide. 

Yeah, you've got that something, 
I think you'll understand. 
When I'll say that something

I want to hold your hand, 
I want to hold your hand.

  1. A Collection of Beatles Oldies (subtitled But Goldies!) is a compilation album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released in the United Kingdom in December 1966, it features hit singles and other songs issued by the group between 1963 and 1966.

    The compilation served as a stopgap release to satisfy EMI's demand for product during the Christmas period, since the Beatles had only begun recording Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the follow-up to their Revolver album, late the previous month. It was the band's first official greatest hits collection, although the Beatles had no involvement in the album.

    The album's preparation and release coincided with rumours in the press that the group were on the verge of splitting up. This speculation was encouraged by the band members' high-profile individual activities since completing their final US tour, in late August 1966, and the announcement that, unlike in previous years, the Beatles would not be performing any concerts in Britain at the end of the year.

    The album cover is a painting combining contemporary psychedelic and op art themes and was commissioned by the band's manager, Brian Epstein. To adherents of the "Paul is dead" hoax, the artwork offered the first clues relating to the alleged demise of Paul McCartney and his replacement in the Beatles by a lookalike, a scenario that is said to have taken place in November 1966 and been facilitated by the group's retirement from live performance.

    A Collection of Beatles Oldies offered the debut album release in Britain for many of the band's singles, although these songs had been available on compilation EPs since their initial release. It also provided the debut release in stereo for these recordings, since the Beatles favoured mono mixes for their singles until 1969.

    The compilation peaked at number 7 on the UK Albums Chart, where all the band's previous albums had held the top spot. It was also released in some other European countries and, in 1968, in Australia.

    The album was deleted from the Beatles' catalogue following the reissue of their albums on compact disc in 1987.
