I Saw Her Standing There

(McCartney-Lennon)

Lead vocal: Paul McCartney

One - two - three - faw!

Well, she was just seventeen,
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare.

So how could I dance with another,
Ooh, when I saw her standin' there?

Well, she looked at me
And I - I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her.

She wouldn't dance with another,
Woah, when I saw her standin' there.

Well, my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine!

Well, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her.

Now I'll never dance with another,
Woah, since I saw her standin' there.

Guitar Solo

Well, my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine!

Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her.

Now I'll never dance with another,
Ooh, since I saw her standin' there,
Ooh, since I saw her standin' there,
Yeah, well, since I saw her standin' there.


Misery

(McCartney-Lennon)

Lead vocals: John Lennon & Paul McCartney

The world is treatin' me bad, misery.

I'm the kind of guy
Who never used to cry,
The world is treatin' me bad, misery.

I've lost her now for sure,
I won't see her no more.
It's gonna be a drag, misery.

I'll remember
All the little things we've done.
Can't she see
She'll always be the only one, only one.

Send her back to me,
'Coz everyone can see,
Without her I will be in misery.

I'll remember
All the little things we've done.
She'll remember
And she'll miss her only one, lonely one.

Send her back to me,
'Coz everyone can see,
Without her I will be in misery.

Ooh oh-oh, in misery,
Ooo oo-o-oo, my misery,
La la la la la la, misery.

I want you to know now
That I still love you so
But if he loves you more,
Go with him.

(Ah ah ah ahh) All of my life,
I've been searchin' for a girl
To love me like I love you.
Oh now, but every girl I've ever had
Breaks my heart and leaves me sad
What am I, what am I supposed to do,
Oh oh oh oh oh oh...

Anna, just one more thing, girl.
You give back your ring to me
And I will set you free,
Go with him.

(Ah ah ah ahh) All of my life,
I've been searchin' for a girl
To love me like I love you.
But let me tell you now, but every girl I've ever had
Breaks my heart and leaves me sad

Oh oh oh oh oh oh...

Anna, just one more thing, girl.

Go with him.

Ask Me Why

(McCartney-Lennon)

Lead vocal: John Lennon

I love you,
'Coz you tell me things I want to know.
And it's true that it really only goes to show,
That I know,
That I, I-I-I, should never, never, never be blue.

Now you're mine,
My happiness near makes me cry.
And in time,
You'll understand the reason why,
If I cry,
It's not because I'm sad, but you're the only love that I've ever had.

I can't believe it's happened to me,
I can't conceive of any more misery.

Ask me why, I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you.

And I'm always thinking of you.

And I'm always thinking of you,
You, you.

(David-Williams-Bacharach)

(Sha la la la la la la-ah)

(Sha la la la la la la)
(Sha la la la la).

It's not the way you smile
That touched my heart.
(Sha la la la la)
It's not the way you kiss
That tears me apart.

Uh-oh, many many, many nights go by,
I sit alone at home and I cry over you,
What can I do?
Can't help myself,
'Coz baby, it's you (sha la la la la la la)
Baby, it's you (sha la la la la la la)
(Sha la la la la).

You should hear what they say about you,
"Cheat! cheat!" (sha la la la la)
They say, they say you never, never, never, ever been true
("Cheat! cheat!")

Uh-oh, it doesn't matter what they say,
I know I'm gonna love you any old way,
What can I do?
When it's true.
Don't want nobody, nobody,
'Coz baby, it's you (sha la la la la la la)
Baby, it's you (sha la la la la la la).

Uh-oh, it doesn't matter what they say,
I know I'm gonna love you any old way,
What can I do? When it's true.
Don't want nobody, nobody,

Baby, it's you (sha la la la la la la)
Don't leave me all alone (sha la la la la la la)
Come on home.


Do You Want to Know a Secret?

(McCartney-Lennon)

You'll never know how much I really love you,
You'll never know how much I really care.

Listen,
Do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?
Woh-oo oh oh, closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear,
I'm in love with you, oh-oo-oo-oo-ooo

Listen (do da doo),
Do you want to know a secret? (do da doo)
Do you promise not to tell? (do da doo)

I've known a secret for a week or two,
Nobody knows, just we two.

Do you want to know a secret? (do da doo)
Do you promise not to tell? (do da doo)
Woh-oo oh oh, closer (do da doo)
Let me whisper in your ear (do da doo)

A Taste of Honey

(Scott-Marlow)

Lead vocal: Paul McCartney

A taste of honey
Tasting much sweeter than wine (do do-n-do)
(Do do-n-do).
I dream of your first kiss and then
I feel upon my lips again
A taste of honey (a taste of honey),
Tasting much sweeter than wine.

I will return, yes I will return,
I'll come back for the honey and you (do do-n-do)
(Do do-n-do).

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart,
There lingers still though we're far apart
That taste of honey (a taste of honey),
Tasting much sweeter than wine.

Oh I will return, yes I will return,
I'll come back (he'll come back),
For the honey (for the honey),
And you.


There's A Place

(McCartney-Lennon)

Lead vocals: John Lennon & Paul McCartney

There's a place where I can go
When I feel low, when I feel blue
And it's my mind and there's no time
When I'm alone.

I think of you and things you do
Go 'round my head, the things you said
Like "I love only you".

In my mind there's no sorrow
Don't you know that it's so?
There'll be no sad tomorrow
Don't you know that it's so?

There's a place where I can go
When I feel low, when I feel blue
And it's my mind and there's no time
When I'm alone.

There's a place
There's a place
There's a place
There's a place.
