Bad to Me
Come and Get It

A WORLD WITHOUT LOVE

(Lennon-McCartney)


Please lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside, where I hide
With my lonliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

Birds sing out of tune
And rain clouds hide the moon
I'm okay, here I'll stay
With my lonliness

I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does, I'll know, so baby until then

Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside, where I hide
With my lonliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does, I'll know, so baby until then

Lock me away
And don't allow the day
here inside, where I hide
With my lonliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

BAD TO ME

(Lennon-McCartney)


If you ever leave me
I'll be sad and blue
Don't you ver leave me
I'm so in love with you

The birds in the sky would be sad and lonely
If they knew that I'd lost my one and only
They'd be sad if you're bad to me

The leaves on the trees would be softly sighing
If they heard from the breeze that you left me crying
They'd be sad, don't be bad to me

But I know you won't leave me, ‘cos you told me so
And I've no intention of letting you go
Just as long as you let me know
You won't be bad to me

So the birds in the sky won't be sad and lonely
‘Cos they know that I've got my one and only
They'll be glad you're not bad to me

But I know you won't leave me, ‘cos you told me so
And I've no intention of letting you go
Just as long as you let me know
You won't be bad to me

So the birds in the sky won't be sad and lonely
‘Cos they know that I've got my one and only
They'll be glad you're not bad to me
They'll be glad you're not bad to me

To me
To me

COME AND GET IT

(Lennon-McCartney)


If you want it here it is
Come and get it
But you'd better hurry ‘cos it's going fast
If you want it any time
I can give it
But you'd better hurry ‘cos it may not last

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?

If you want it here it is
Come and get it
But you'd better hurry ‘cos it's going fast

If you want it here it is
Come and get it
But you'd better hurry ‘cos it's going fast
If you want it any time
I can give it
But you'd better hurry ‘cos it may not last

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?
Sonny!

If you want it here it is
Come and get it
But you'd better hurry ‘cos it's going fast
You'd better hurry ‘cos it's going fast

Ooh...fool and his money
Sonny!
If you want it here it is
Come and get it
But you'd better hurry ‘cos it's going fast
You'd better hurry ‘cos it's going fast
You'd better hurry ‘cos it's going fast

CHILD OF NATURE

(Lennon-McCartney)


On the road to Rishikesh
I was dreaming more or less
And the dream I had was true
Yes the dream I had was true

I'm just a child of nature
I don't need much to set me free
I'm just a child of nature
I'm one of nature's children

Sunlight shining in my eyes
As I face the desert skies
And my thoughts returned to home
Yes my thoughts returned to home

I'm just a child of nature
I don't need much to set me free
I'm just a child of nature
I'm one of nature's children

Underneath the mountain ranges
With the wind that never changes
Touch the windows of my soul
Touch the windows of my soul

I'm just a child of nature
I don't need much to set me free
I'm just a child of nature
I'm one of nature's children

FREE AS A BIRD

(Lennon-McCartney-Harrison-Starkey)

Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird

Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings

Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...

Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird

Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings

Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
Always made me feel so free.

Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Free as a bird
Free as a bird

GOODBYE

(Lennon-McCartney)


Please don't wake me until late
Tomorrow comes
And I will not be late
Late today when it becomes
Tomorrow I
Will leave and go away

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
My love, goodbye

Songs that lingered on my lips
Excite me now
And linger on my mind
Leave your flowers at my door
I'll leave then for
The one who waits behind

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
My love, goodbye

Far away my lover sings
A lonely song
And calls me to his side
When the song of lonely love
Invites me on
I must go to his side

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
My love, goodbye

HELLO LITTLE GIRL

(Lennon-McCartney)


Hello little girl
Hello little girl
Hello little girl

When I see you everyday
I say: mm mm hello little girl
When you're passing on your way
I say: mm mm hello little girl
When I see you passing by
I cry mm mm hello little girl
When I try to catch your eye
I cry mm mm hello little girl

I send you flowers
But you don't care
You never seem to see
Me standing there
I often wonder
What you're thinking of
I hope it's me
And love love love

So I hope there'll come a day
When you'll say: mm mm, you're my little girl

It's not the first time
That it's happened to me
It's been a long lonely time
And it's so funny, funny to see
That I'm about to lose my mi-mi-ind.

So I hope there'll come a day
When you say: mm mm
you're my little girl, mm mm mm
You're my little girl, mm mm mm
You're my little girl, oh yeah
You're my little girl

IF YOU'VE GOT TROUBLES

(Lennon-McCartney)


If you've got troubles
Then you've got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
You're quite content to be bad
With all the advantage you've had over me
Just ‘cos you're troubled
Then don't bring your troubles to me

I don't think it's funny
When you ask for money and things
Especially when you're standing there
Wearing diamonds and rings
You think I'm soft in the head
Well try someone softer instead, pretty thing
It's not so funny
When you know what money can bring

You'd better leave me alone
I don't need a thing from you
You'd better take yourself home
Throwing down a ring or two

If you've got troubles
Then you've got less troubles than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
You're quite content to be bad
With all the advantage you've had over me
Just ‘cos you're troubled
Then don't bring your troubles to me

Aw rock on! ANYBODY!

You'd better leave me alone
I don't need a thing from you
You'd better take yourself home
Throwing down a ring or two

If you've got troubles
Then you've got less troubles than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
You're quite content to be bad
With all the advantage you've had over me
Just ‘cos you're troubled
Then don't bring your troubles to me
Just ‘cos you're troubled
Then don't bring your troubles to me

I'LL BE ON MY WAY

(Lennon-McCartney)


The sun is fading away
That's the end of the day
As the June light turns to moonlight
I'll be on my way

Just one kiss and I'll go
Don't hide the tears that won't show
As the June light turns to moonlight
I'll be on my way

To where the winds don't blow
And golden rivers flow
This way will I go

They were right, I was wrong
True love didn't last long
As the June light turns to moonlight
I'll be on my way

To where the winds don't blow
And golden rivers flow
This way will I go

They were right, I was wrong
True love didn't last long
As the June light turns to moonlight
I'll be on my way

I'll be on my way, oh
I'll be on my way, oh
I'll be on my way, oh...

LIKE DREAMERS DO

(Lennon-McCartney)


I, I saw a girl in my dreams
And so it seems
That I will love her
Oh you, you are that girl in my dreams
And so it seems
That I will love you

And I waited for your kiss
Waited for the bliss

REAL LOVE

(Lennon)

All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dreams
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems that all they really were doing
Was waiting for love

No need to be alone
No need to be alone
It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real

From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love

No need to be afraid
No need to be afraid
It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real

Thought I'd been in love before
But in my heart, I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

No need to be alone
No need to be alone
It's real love, it's real
It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real
It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real
It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real
It's real love, it's real

THAT MEANS A LOT

(Lennon-McCartney)


A friend says that your love won't mean a lot
But you know that your love is all you've got
At times things are so fine
And at times they're not
But when she says she loves you, that means a lot

A friend says that her love is never true
But you know that this don't apply to you
A touch can mean so much
When it's all you've got
And when she says she loves you, that means a lot

Love can be deep inside
Love can be suicide
Can't you see you can't hide
What you feel
When it's real?

A friend says that your love won't mean a lot
But you know that your love is all you've got
A touch can mean so much
When it's all you've got
And when she says she loves you, that means a lot

Can't you see? Yeah
Can't you see? Yeah
Can't you see? Yeah
Can't you see? Yeah
Can't you see? Yeah
Can't you see? Yeah...

WHAT'S THE NEW MARY JANE?

(Lennon-McCartney)


She looks as an African queen
She eating twelve chapattis and cream
She tastes as Mongolian lamb
She coming from out of Bahran

What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party

She like to be married with Yeti
He grooving such cooky spaghetti
She jumping as Mexican bean
To make that her body more thin

What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party

She catch Patagonian pancake
With that one and gin party makes
She having all the ways good contacts
She making with Apple an contract

What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party

All together now!
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party

She looks as an African queen

She tastes as Mongolian lamb

What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party

What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
