Lyrics:

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.

The Night Before.

(Lennon-McCartney)

We said our goodbyes, ah, the night before. 

Love was in your eyes, ah, the night before. 

Now today I find you have changed your mind. 

Treat me like you did the night before. 

Were you telling lies, ah, the night before? 

Was I so unwise, ah, the night before? 

When I held you near you were so sincere. 

Treat me like you did the night before. 

Last night is a night I will remember you by. 

When I think of things we did it makes me wanna cry. 

We said our goodbye, ah, the night before. 

Love was in your eyes, ah, the night before. 

Now today I find you have changed your mind. 

Treat me like you did the night before. 

When I held you near you were so sincere. 

Treat me like you did the night before. 

Last night is a night I will remember you by. 

When I think of things we did it makes me wanna cry. 

Were you telling lies, ah, the night before? 

Was I so unwise, ah, the night before? 

When I held you near you were so sincere. 

Treat me like you did the night before, 

like the night before.

You've Got to Hide Your Love Away.

(Lennon-McCartney)

Here I stand head in hand 

Turn my face to the wall 

If she's gone I can't go on 

Feelin' two-foot small.

Everywhere people stare 

Each and every day 

I can see them laugh at me 

And I hear them say.

Hey you've got to hide your love away 

Hey you've got to hide your love away.

How could I even try 

I can never win 

Hearing them, seeing them 

In the state I'm in.

How could she say to me 

Love will find a way 

Gather round all you clowns 

Let me hear you say.

Hey you've got to hide your love away 

Hey you've got to hide your love away.

I Need You.

(Harrison)

You don't realize how much I need you, 

Love you all the time and never leave you. 

Please come on back to me. 

I'm lonely as can be. 

I need you. 

Said you had a thing or two to tell me. 

How was I to know you would upset me? 

I didn't realize as I looked in your eyes 

You told me. 

Oh yes, you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore. 

That's when it hurt me and feeling like this I just can't go on anymore. 

Please remember how I feel about you, 

I could never really live without you, 

So, come on back and see just what you mean to me. 

I need you.

Another Girl.

(Lennon-McCartney)

For I have found another girl, another girl. 

You're making me say that I've got nobody but you, 

But as from today, well, I've got somebody that's new. 

I ain't no fool and I don't take what I don't want, 

For I have got another girl, another girl. 

She's sweeter than all the girls and I met quite a few. 

Nobody in all the world can do what she can do. 

And so I'm telling you, "This time you'd better stop." 

For I have got another girl. 

Another girl who will love me till the end. 

Through thick and thin 

She will always be my friend.

I don't want to say that I've been unhappy with you, 

But, as from today, well, I've seen somebody that's new. 

I ain't no fool and I don't take what I don't want, 

For I have got another girl. Another girl. 

Who will love me till the end. 

Through thick and thin 

She will always be my friend. 

I don't want to say that I've been unhappy with you, 

But, as from today, well, I've seen somebody that's new. 

I ain't no fool and I don't take what I don't want, 

For I have got another girl. Another girl. 

Another girl.

You're Gonna Lose That Girl.

(Lennon-McCartney)

You're going to lose that girl, 

You're going to lose that girl. 

If you don't take her out tonight, 

She's going to change her mind, 

And I will take her out tonight, 

And I will treat her kind. 

You're going to lose that girl, 

You're going to lose that girl. 

If you don't treat her right, my friend, 

You're going to find her gone, 

'cause I will treat her right, and then 

You'll be the lonely one. 

You're going to lose that girl, 

You're going to lose that girl. 

I'll make a point 

Of taking her away from you, yeah, 

The way you treat her what else can I do? 

You're going to lose that girl, 

You're going to lose that girl. 

I'll make a point 

Of taking her away from you, yeah, 

The way you treat her what else can I do? 

If you don't take her out tonight, 

She's going to change her mind, 

And I will take her out tonight, 

And I will treat her kind. 

You're going to lose that girl, 

You're going to lose that girl.

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, 

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. 

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.

Act Naturally.

(Voney Morrison / Johnny Russell)

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 so is act naturally.

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 plat the part so well.

Well I hope you 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.

We'll make the scene about a man that's sad and lonely 

And beggin down upon his bended knee 

I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsal 

All I gotta do is act naturally.

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 plat the part so well.

Well I hope you 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.

It's Only Love.

(Lennon-McCartney)

I get high when I see you go by 

My oh my. 

When you sigh, my, my inside just flies, 

Butterflies 

Why am I so shy when I'm beside you? 

It's only love and that is all, 

Why should I feel the way I do? 

It's only love, and that is all, 

But it's so hard loving you. 

Is it right that you and I should fight 

Ev'ry night? 

Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright, 

Very bright. 

Haven't I the right to make it up girl? 

It's only love and that is all, 

Why should I feel the way I do? 

It's only love, and that is all 

But it's so hard loving you 

Yes it's so hard loving you, loving you.

You Like Me Too Much.

(Harrison)

Though you've gone away this morning, 

You'll be back again tonight, 

Telling me there'll be no next time 

If I don't just don't treat you right, 

You'll never leave me and you know it's true, 

'cause you like me too much and I like you. 

You've tried before to leave me, 

But you haven't got the nerve 

To walk out and make me lonely 

Which is all that I deserve, 

You'll never leave me and you know it's true, 

'cause you like me too much and I like you. 

I really do, and it's nice when you believe me, 

If you leave me.

I will follow I will follow you 

And bring you back where you belong 

'cause I could't really stand it, 

I admit that I was wrong, 

I wouldn't let you leave me 'cause it's true, 

'cause you like me too much and I like you. 

If you leave me.

I will follow I will follow you 

and bring you back where you belong 

'cause I could't really stand it, 

I admit that I was wrong, 

I wouldn't let you leave me 'cause it's true, 

'cause you like me too much and I like you, 

'cause you like me too much and I like you.

Tell Me What You See.

(Lennon-McCartney)

If you let me take your heart I will prove to you, 

We will never be apart if I'm part of you. 

Open up your eyes now, tell me what you see. 

It is no suprise now, what you see is me.

Big and black the clouds may be, time will pass away. 

If you put your trust in me I'll make bright your day. 

Look into these eyes now, tell me what you see. 

Don't you realise now, what you see is me.

Tell me what you see.

Listen to me one more time, how can I get through? 

Can't you try to see that I'm trying to get to you? 

Open up your eyes now, tell me what you see. 

It is no suprise now, what you see is me.

Tell me what you see.

Listen to me one more time, how can I get through? 

Can't you try to see that I'm trying to get to you? 

Open up your eyes now, tell me what you see. 

It is no suprise now, what you see is me.

I've Just Seen A Face.

(Lennon-McCartney)

I've just seen a face, 

I can't forget the time or place 

Where we just meet. 

She's just the girl for me 

And want all the world to see 

We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m'mmm-mmm. 

Had it been another day 

I might have looked the other way 

And I'd have never been aware. 

But as it is I'll dream of her 

Tonight, di-di-di-di'n'di.

Falling, yes I am falling, 

And she keeps calling 

Me back again.

I have never known 

The like of this, I've been alone 

And I have missed things 

And kept out of sight 

But other girls were never quite 

Like this, da-da-n'da-da'n'da.

Falling, yes I am falling, 

And she keeps calling 

Me back again.

Falling, yes I am falling, 

And she keeps calling 

Me back again.

I've just seen a face, 

I can't forget the time or place 

Where we just meet. 

She's just the girl for me 

And want all the world to see 

We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-da-da-da. 

Falling, yes I am falling, 

And she keeps calling 

Me back again. 

Falling, yes I am falling, 

And she keeps calling 

Me back again. 

Oh, falling, yes I am falling, 

And she keeps calling 

Me back again.

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.
