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 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?
'Cos 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, yeah

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 find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

So why on earth should I moan?
'Cos 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, yeah

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 find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER

(Lennon-McCartney)

I
Should have known better with a girl like you
That I would love everything that you do
And I do
Hey, hey, hey
And I do

Whoa, oh, I
Never realized what a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can't you see?
Can't you see?

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too

So I
Should have realized a lot of things before
If this is love you've got to give me more
Give me more
Hey hey hey
Give me more

Whoa, oh,
Never realized what a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can't you see?
Can't you see?

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, o
, And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too
You love me too
You love me too

IF I FELL

(Lennon-McCartney)

If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand?
'Cos I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start that you
Would love me more
Than her

If I trust in you, oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too, oh please
Don't hurt my pride
Like her

'Cos I couldn't stand the pain
And I
Would be sad if our new love
Was in vain

So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two

'Cos I couldn't stand the pain
And I
Would be sad if our new love
Was in vain

So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you

I'M HAPPY JUST TO DANCE WITH YOU

(Lennon-McCartney)

Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

I don't want to kiss or hold your hand
If it's funny try and understand
There is really nothing else I'd rather do
'Cos I'm happy just to dance with you

I don't need to hug or hold you tight
I just want to dance with you all night
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you
Is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'CosI'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you
Is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
I've discovered I'm in love with you
'Cos I'm happy just to dance with you

AND I LOVE HER

(Lennon-McCartney)

I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her

She gives me everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love he

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

TELL ME WHY

(Lennon-McCartney)

Tell me why you cried
and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
and why you lied to me

Well I gave you everything I had
But you left me sitting on my own
Did you have to treat me oh so bad?
All I do is hang my head and moan

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

If there's something I have said or done
Tell me what and I'll apologize
If you don't I really can't go on
Holding back these tears in my eyes

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

Well I beg you on my bended knees
If you'll only listen to my pleas
Is there anything I can do?
'Cos I really can't stand it
I'm so in love with you

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

CAN'T BUY ME LOVE

(Lennon-McCartney)

Can't buy me love, oh
Love, oh
Can't buy me love, oh

I'll buy you a diamond rings my friend
If it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything my friend
If it makes you feel alright
'Cos 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'll 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, oh
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, oh
No no no, no

Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love, oh
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, oh
No no no, no

Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love, oh
Love, oh
Can't buy me love, oh
Oh

ANY TIME AT ALL

(Lennon-McCartney)

Any time at all
Any time at all
Any time at all
All you've gotta do is call
And I'll be there

If you need somebody to love
Just look into my eyes
I'll be there to make you feel right
If you're feeling sorry and sad
I'd really sympathize
Don't be sad, just call me tonight

Any time at all
Any time at all
Any time at all
All you've gotta do is call
And I'll be there

If the sun has faded away
I'll try to make it shine

When you need a shoulder to cry on
I hope it will be mine
Call me tonight, and I'll come to you

Any time at all
Any time at all
Any time at all
All you've gotta do is call
And I'll be there

I'LL CRY INSTEAD

(Lennon-McCartney)

I've got every reason on earth to be mad
'Cos I've just lost the only girl I had
And if I could get my way
I'd get myself locked up today
But I can't so I cry instead

I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet
I can't talk to people that I meet
If I could see you now
I'd try to make you sad somehow
But I can't so I cry instead

Don't want to cry when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna hide myself away
But I'll come back again someday

And when I do you'd better hide all the girls
I'm gonna break their hearts all 'round the world
Yes, I'm gonna break them in two
And show you what your loving man can do
Until then I'll cry instead

Don't want to cry when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna hide myself away
But I'll come back again someday

And when I do you'd better hide all the girls
I'm gonna break their hearts all 'round the world
Yes, I'm gonna break them in two
And show you what your loving man can do
Until then I'll cry instead

THINGS WE SAID TODAY

(Lennon-McCartney)

You say you will love me
If I have to go
You'll be thinking of me
Somehow I will know
Someday when I'm lonely
Wishing you weren't so far away
Then I will remember
Things we said today

You say you'll be mine, girl
Until the end of time
These days such a kind girl
Seems so hard to find
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today

Me, I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that love is love
And, though we may be blind
Love is here to stay and that's enough

To make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
We'll go on and on
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today

Me, I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that love is love
And, though we may be blind
Love is here to stay and that's enough

To make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
We'll go on and on
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today

WHEN I GET HOME

(Lennon-McCartney)

Whoa-I, whoa-I
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home

Come on, out of my way
'Cos I'm-a gonna see my baby today
I've got a whole lot of things I've gotta say
To her

Whoa-I, whoa-I
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home

Come on if you please
I've got no time for trivialities
I've got a girl who's waiting home for me
Tonight

Whoa-I, whoa-I
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home

When I'm getting home tonight
I'm gonna hold her tight
I'm gonna love her till the cows come home
I bet I'll love her more
Till I walk out that door
Again

Come on, let me through
I've got so many things I've got to do
I've got no business being here with you
This way

Whoa-I, whoa-I
I've got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home - yeah
I've got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home

YOU CAN'T DO THAT

(Lennon-McCartney)

I got something to say that might cause you pain
If I catch you talking to that boy again
I'm gonna let you down
And leave you flat
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that

Well, it's the second time I've caught you talking to him
Do I have to tell you one more time, I think it's a sin?
I think I'll let you down
And leave you flat
Because I've told you before
Oh, you can't do that

Everybody's green
'Cos I'm the one who won your love
But if they'd seen
You talking that way
They'd laugh in my face

So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine
I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind
I'm gonna let you down
And leave you flat
Because I've told you before
Oh, you can't do that

Everybody's green
'Cos I'm the one who won your love
But if they'd seen
You talking that way
They'd laugh in my face

So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine
I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind
I'm gonna let you down
And leave you flat
Because I've told you before
Oh, you can't do that

I'LL BE BACK

(Lennon-McCartney)

You know
If you break my heart I'll go
But I'll be back again
'Cos I
Told you once before goodbye
But I came back again

I love you so
I'm the one who wants you
Yes, I'm the one who wants you
Oh ho, oh ho, oh

You
Could find better things to do
Than to break my heart again
This time
I will try to show that I'm
Not trying to pretend

I thought that you would realize
That if I ran away from you
That you would want me too
But I got a big surprise
Oh ho, oh ho, oh

You
Could find better things to do
Than to break my heart again
This time
I will try to show that I'm
Not trying to pretend

I wanna go
But I hate to leave you
You know I hate to leave you
Oh ho, oh ho, oh

You
If you break my heart I'll go
But I'll be back again
