Lyrics for the album "Please Please Me" by The Beatles

I Saw Her Standing There

One two three four!

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)
And 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 (whooh)
And I saw her standin' there.

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

Whoah, 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 (whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

[chorus]

Misery

The world is treating 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 hewr back to me
'Cause 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
'Cause everyone can see
Without her I will be in misery (oh oh oh)
In misery (ooh ee ooh ooh)
My misery (la la la la la la)

Anna

Anna
You come and ask me, girl
To set you free, girl
You say he loves you more than me
So I will set you free
Go with him.
Go with him.

Anna
Girl, before you go now
I want you to know, now
That I still love you so
But if he loves you mo'
Go with him.

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 my sad.
What am I, what am I supposed to do.

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

[chorus]

Chains

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains.
And they ain't the kind that you can see.
Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah.

Chains, well I can't break away from these chains.
Can't run around, 'cause I'm not free.
Whoa, oh, these chains of love won't let me be, yeah.

I wanna tell you, pretty baby
I think you're fine.
I'd like to love you
But, darlin', I'm imprisoned by these...

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Oh, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me.

Please believe me when I tell you
Your lips are sweet.
I'd like to kiss them
But I can't break away from all of these...

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains.
And they ain't the kind that you can see.
Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah.

Chains, chains of love...

Boys

[chorus]

Ask Me Why

I love you, 'cause 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 still 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.

I love you, 'cause 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.

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

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.

Please Please Me

Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl
C'mon...
Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you.

You don't need me to show the way, love.
Why do I always have to say "love,"
C'mon...
Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you.

I don't wanna sound complainin'
But you know there's always rain in my heart (in my heart).
I do all the pleasin' with you, it's so hard to reason
With you, whoah yeah, why do you make me blue.

Repeat first verse

Love Me Do

Love, love me do.
You know I love you
I'll always be true
So please, love me do.
Whoa, love me do.

Love, love me do.
You know I love you

Someone to love
Somebody new.

Baby It's You

Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la 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, 'cause baby, it's you.
Baby, it's you.

You should hear what they say about you, "cheat," "cheat."
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, and it's true.
Don't want nobody, nobody, 'cause baby, it's you. (sha la la la la la la)
Baby, it's you. (sha la la la la la la)

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

Do You Want to Know a Secret

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, whoa oh, oh.

Closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you.

Listen
Do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, whoa oh, oh.

Closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you.

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

Listen
Do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, whoa oh, oh.

Closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you.

A Taste of Honey

A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine.

I dream of your first kiss, and then
I feel upon my lips again
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.

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

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

There is 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 is 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...
