DRIVE MY CAR
Lennon-McCartney
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"
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
I told that girl that my prospects were good
She said "Baby, it's understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time"
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, beep beep, yeah
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
I told that girl I could start right away
She said "Listen baby, I got something to say
I've got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I found a driver and that's a start"
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, beep beep, yeah
Beep beep, beep beep, yeah ...

NORWEGIAN WOOD
Lennon-McCartney
I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good?
Norwegian wood
She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair
I sat on a rug
Biding my time, drinking her wine
We talked until two
And then she said "It's time for bed"
She told me she worked in the morning
And started to laugh
I told her I didn't
And crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke
I was alone, this bird has flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good?
Norwegian wood

YOU WON'T SEE ME
Lennon-McCartney
When I call you up your line's engaged
I have had enough so act your age
We have lost the time that was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind if you won't see me
You won't see me
I don't know why you should want to hide
But I can't get through, my hands are tied
I don't want to stay, I don't have much to say
But I can turn away and you won't see me
You won't see me
Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few
They're filled with tears
And since I lost you it feels like years
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on if you won't see me
You won't see me
Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few
They're filled with tears
And since I lost you it feels like years
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on if you won't see me
You won't see me

NOWHERE MAN
Lennon-McCartney
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man
The world is at your command
He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all?
Nowhere man, don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all
Till somebody else lends you a hand
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man
The world is at your command
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

THINK FOR YOURSELF
Harrison
I've got a word or two
To say about the things that you do
You're telling all those lies
About the the good things that we can have
If we close our eyes
Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'cause I won't be there with you
I left you far behind
The ruins of the life that you have in mind
And though you still can't see
I know your mind's made up
You're gonna cause more misery
Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'cause I won't be there with you
Although your mind's opaque
Try thinking more if just for your own sake
The future still looks good
And you've got time to rectify
All the things that you should
Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'cause I won't be there with you
Think for yourself
'cause I won't be there with you

THE WORD
Lennon-McCartney
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, it's sunshine
It's the word love
In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I've got it, the word is good
Spread the word and you'll be free
Spread the word and be like me
Spread the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, it's sunshine
It's the word love
Everywhere I go I hear it said
In the good, in the bad books that I have read
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, it's sunshine
It's the word love
Now that I know what I feel must be right
I mean to show everybody the light
Give the word a chance to say
That the word is just the way
It's the word I'm thinking of
And the only word is love
It's so fine, it's sunshine
It's the word love
Say the word love
Say the word love ...

MICHELLE
Lennon-McCartney
Michelle, ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle, ma belle
Sont des 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
Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
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 des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
And I will say the only words I know
That you'll understand
My michelle

WHAT GOES ON
Lennon-McCartney-Starkey
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?
The other day I saw you
As you walked along the road
But when I saw him with you
I could feel my future fold
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why
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?
I met you in the morning
Waiting for the tides of time
But now the tide is turning
I can see that I was blind
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why
What goes on in your heart?
I used to think of no one else
But you were just the same
You didn't even think of me
As someone with a name
Did you mean to break my heart and watch me die
Tell me why
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?

GIRL
Lennon-McCartney
Is there anybody going
To listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay
She's the kind of girl you want so much
It makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day
Ah, girl
Girl, girl
When I think of all the times
I tried so hard to leave her
She would turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me
And I believe her
After all this time I don't know why
Ah, girl
Girl, girl
She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there, you feel a fool
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood
She's cool, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Girl
Girl, girl
Was she told when she was young
That pain would lead to pleasure
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back
To earn his day of leisure
Will she still believe it when his dead
Ah, girl
Girl, girl ...

I'M LOOKING THROUGH YOU
Lennon-McCartney
I'm looking through you, where did you go?
I thought I knew you, what did I know
You don't look different but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Your lips are moving, I cannot hear
Your voice is soothing but the words aren't clear
You don't sound different, I've learned the game
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Why tell me why did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
You're thinking of me the same old way
You were above me but not today
The only difference is you're down there
I'm looking through you and you're nowhere
Why tell me why did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
I'm looking through you, where did you go?
I thought I knew you, what did I know
You don't look different but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Yeah, baby, you've changed
I'm looking through you
Yeah, I'm looking through you
You've changed, you've changed
You've changed, you've changed ...

IN MY LIFE
Lennon-McCartney
There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more
In my life I'll love you more

WAIT
Lennon-McCartney
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away, now
Oh, how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we cried
But if your heart breaks
Don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong
Hold on, I won't delay
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we cried
I feel as though you ought to know
That I've been good, as good as I can be
And if you do I'll trust in you
And know that you will wait for me
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away, now
Oh, how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we cried
I feel as though you ought to know
That I've been good, as good as I can be
And if you do I'll trust in you
And know that you will wait for me
But if your heart breaks
Don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong
Hold on, I won't delay
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we cried
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away, now
Oh, how I've been alone

IF I NEEDED SOMEONE
Harrison
If I needed someone to love
You're the one that I'd be thinking of
If I needed someone
If I had some more time to spend
Then I guess I'd be with you, my friend
If I needed someone
Had you come some other day,
Then it might not have been like this
But you see, now I'm too much in love
Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone
If I had some more time to spend
Then I guess I'd be with you, my friend
If I needed someone
Had you come some other day,
Then it might not have been like this
But you see, now I'm too much in love
Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
Lennon McCartney
I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
You'd better keep your head, little girl
Or you won't know where I am
You'd better run for your life
If you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl
Well, you know that I'm a wicked guy
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can't spend my whole life trying
Just to make you toe the line
You'd better run for your life
If you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl
Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I said
Baby, I'm determined
And I'd rather see you dead
You'd better run for your life
If you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl
I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
You'd better keep your head, little girl
Or you won't know where I am
You'd better run for your life
If you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl
