The Beatles Lyrics

[The Beatles]

One After 909

My baby says she's travelling on the one after 909

I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line

I said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

Said you're travelling on the one after 909



I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees

You're only fooling around, you're fooling around with me

I said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

Said you're travelling on the one after 909



You got my bag, run to the station

Railman says you got the the wrong location

Pick up my bag, run right home

Then I find I got the number wrong



Well I said I'm travelling on the one after 909

I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line

I said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

Said you're travelling on the one after 909, yeah



I got my bag, run to the station

Railman says you got the the wrong location, well

I got my bag, run right home

Then I find I got the number wrong



Well I said I'm travelling on the one after 909

I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line

I said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

Said we're travelling on the one after 90

You said we're travelling on the one after 90

Said we're travelling on the one after 909



[Oh Danny Boy, the old summer is calling.]

[The Beatles]

Taxman

[1,2,3,4



Hrmm!



1,2...



1,2,3,4!]



Let me tell you how it will be

There's one for you, nineteen for me

Cos I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman



Should five per cent appear too small

Be thankful I don't take it all

Cos I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman



(If you drive a car, car) I'll tax the street

(If you try to sit, sit) I'll tax your seat

(If you get too cold, cold) I'll tax the heat

(If you take a walk, walk) I'll tax your feet

Taxman



Cos I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman



Don't ask me what I want it for (Ah ah Mr. Wilson)

If you don't want to pay some more (Ah ah Mr. Heath)

Cos I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman



Now my advice for those who die (Taxman)

Declare the pennies on your eyes (Taxman)

Cos I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

And you're working for no one but me (Taxman)

[The Beatles]

Getting Better

It's getting better all the time



I used to get mad at my school (No I can't complain)

The teachers who taught me weren't cool (No I can't complain)

You're holding me down (Oh), turning me round (Oh)

Filling me up with your rules (Foolish rules)



I've got to admit it's getting better (Better)

A little better all the time (It can't get more worse)

I have to admit it's getting better (Better)

It's getting better since you've been mine



Me used to be angry young man

Me hiding me head in the sand

You gave me the word, I finally heard

I'm doing the best that I can



I've got to admit it's getting better (Better)

A little better all the time (It can't get more worse)

I have to admit it's getting better (Better)

It's getting better since you've been mine

Getting so much better all the time

It's getting better all the time

Better, better, better

It's getting better all the time

Better, better, better



I used to be cruel to my woman

I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved

Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene

And I'm doing the best that I can (Ooh)



I admit it's getting better (Better)

A little better all the time (It can't get more worse)

Yes I admit it's getting better (Better)

It's getting better since you've been mine

Getting so much better all the time

It's getting better all the time

Better, better, better

It's getting better all the time

Better, better, better

Getting so much better all the time

[The Beatles]

We Can Work It Out

Try to see it my way

Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?

While you see it your way

Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone

We can work it out

We can work it out



Think of what you're saying

You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright

Think of what I'm saying

We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night

We can work it out

We can work it out



Life is very short, and there's no time

For fussing and fighting, my friend

I have always thought that it's a crime

So I will ask you once again



Try to see it my way

Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong

While you see it your way

There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long

We can work it out

We can work it out



Life is very short, and there's no time

For fussing and fighting, my friend

I have always thought that it's a crime

So I will ask you once again



Try to see it my way

Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong

While you see it your way

There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long

We can work it out

We can work it out

[The Beatles]

I Want To Hold Your Hand

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something

I think you'll understand

When I'll say that something

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand



Oh please, say to me

You'll let me be your man

And please, say to me

You'll let me hold your hand

I'll let me hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand



And when I touch you I feel happy

Inside

It's such a feeling that my love

I can't hide

I can't hide

I can't hide



Yeah, you've got that something

I think you'll understand

When I'll say that something

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand



And when I touch you I feel happy

Inside

It's such a feeling that my love

I can't hide

I can't hide

I can't hide



Yeah, you've got that something

I think you'll understand

When I'll feel that something

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

I Should Have Known Better

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



Wow 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 wow 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



Wow 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

You love me too

You love me too

You love me too

[The Beatles]

Long, Long, Long

It's been a long long long time

How could I ever have lost you

When I loved you



It took a long long long time

Now I'm so happy I found you

How I love you



So many tears I was searching

So many tears I was wasting, oh oh



Now I can see you, be you

How can I ever misplace you

How I want you

Oh I love you

Your know that I need you

Ooh I love you



Oh

[The Beatles]

Blue Jay Way

There's a fog upon L.A.

And my friends have lost their way

We'll be over soon they said

Now they've lost themselves instead

Please don't be long please don't you be very long

Please don't be long for I may be asleep

Well it only goes to show

And I told them where to go

Ask a policeman on the street

There's so many there to meet

Please don't be long please don't you be very long

Please don't be long for I may be asleep

Now it's past my bed I know

And I'd really like to go

Soon will be the breath of day

Sitting here in Blue Jay Way

Please don't be long please don't you be very long

Please don't be long for I may be asleep

Please don't be long please don't you be very long

Please don't be long

Please don't be long please don't you be very long

Please don't be long

Please don't be long please don't you be very long

Please don't be long

Don't be long, don't be long, don't be long

Don't be long, don't be long, don't be long

[The Beatles]

I Forgot To Remember To Forget (live at the BBC)

I forgot to remember to forget her

I can't seem to get her off my mind

I thought I'd never miss her

But I've found out somehow

I think about her almost all the time



Well the day she went away

I made myself a promise

That I'd soon forget we'd ever met

But something sure is wrong

Cos I'm so blue and lonely

I forgot to remember to forget



Well the day she went away

I made myself a promise

That I'd soon forget we'd ever met

But something sure is wrong

Cos I'm so blue and lonely

I forgot to remember to forget

[The Beatles]

I Feel Fine (live at the BBC)

Baby's good to me, you know

She's happy as can be, you know

She said so

I'm in love with her and I feel fine



Baby says she's mine, you know

She tells me all the time, you know

She said so

I'm in love with her and I feel fine



I'm so glad that she's my little girl

She's so glad, she's telling all the world

That her baby buys her things, you know

He buys her diamond rings, you know

She said so

She's in love with me and I feel fine, mmm



Baby says she's mine, you know

She tells me all the time, you know

She said so

I'm in love with her and I feel fine

He buys her diamond rings, you know

She's in love with me and I feel fine, mmm, mmm

[The Beatles]

Too Much Monkey Business (live at the BBC)

Running to and fro, hard

Working at the mail

Never fail

Get the mail

Yeah, some rotten deal

Ow!



Too much monkey business

Too much monkey business

Too much monkey business for me to invite them again



Say me

Talking to me

Tryin' to run me up a creek

She used to buy one

Try to pay me again next week

Ow!



Too much monkey business

Too much monkey business

Too much monkey business for me to invite them again



Long-haired, good-looking

Trying to get me hooked

Or me to marry

Settle down

Get the horn by the bull

Ow!



Too much monkey business

Too much monkey business

Too much monkey business for me to invite them again



Mediocre money

Being fighting in the hall

Army bunk, army go

Army chow, army cook

Ow!



Too much monkey business

Too much monkey business

Too much monkey business for me to invite them again



Same thing every day

Getting up, going to school

No need to make complaining

My objection's overruled

Ow!



Too much monkey business

Too much monkey business

Too much monkey business for me to invite them again



Working in the filling station

Too many tires

Wipe the windows

Check the tire

Check the oil and all the gas

Ow!



Too much monkey business

Too much monkey business

Don't want your moderation, get away, leave me

[The Beatles]

Act Naturally

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 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

Cos I can play the part so well



Well I hope you'll 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 begging down upon his bended knee

I'll play the part and I won't need rehearsing

All I have to 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

Cos I can play the part so well



Well I hope you'll 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

[The Beatles]

Nowhere Man

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 (Ah la la la la)

You don't know what you're missing (Ah la la la la)

Nowhere Man (Ah la la la la)

The world is at your command (Ah la la la la la)



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 (Ah la la la la)

Take your time, don't hurry (Ah la la la la)

Leave it all (Ah la la la la)

Till somebody else lends you a hand (Ah la la la la)



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 (Ah la la la la)

You don't know what you're missing (Ah la la la la)

Nowhere Man (Ah la la la la)

The world is at your command (Ah la la la la)



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

[The Beatles]

I'll Be Back

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
