Drive my car

Asked a girl what she wanted to be
she said baby, "Can't you see
I wanna be famous, a star on 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 love you.

I told a girl that my prospects were good
and 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.

I told that girl I can start right away
and she said, "Listen baby I got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
but I've found a driver and that's a start".

Baby you can drive my car.John: voz, cencerro y guitarra rítmica.
Paul: voz, piano, guitarra y bajo.
George: coro, guitarra.
Ringo: batería y pandero.

Norwegian wood (This bird has flown)

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 the 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 had flown
so I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood?.John: voces, guitarras.
Paul: coros, bajo.
George: sitar.
Ringo: pandereta.

You won't see me

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

I don't know why you should want to hide
but I can't get through my hands are tied
I won't want to stay I don't have much to say
but I can't turn away and 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.John: coros.
Paul: voz, bajo, piano.
George: coros, guitarra.
Ringo: batería, tamborín.
Mal Evans: órgano Hammond.

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
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.

He's a real Nowhere Man
sitting in his nowhere land
making all his nowhere plans for nobody.John: voces, guitarras.
Paul: coro, bajo.
George: coro, guitarra.
Ringo: batería.

Think for yourself

I've got a word or two
to say about the things that you do
you're telling all those lies
about 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.

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.John: coros, piano eléctrico.
Paul: coros, bajo.
George: voz, guitarra.
Ringo: batería, percusión.

The word

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 work 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 and bad books that I have read.

Now that I know what I feel must be right
I'm here 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.John: voz, guitarra rítmica.
Paul: voz, bajo, piano.
George: voz, guitarra.
Ringo: batería, maracas.

Michelle

Michelle, ma belle, these are words that go together well, my Michelle
Michelle, ma belle, sont les 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.

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.

I will say the only words I know
that you'll understand, my Michelle.John: coro.
Paul: voz, guitarra acústica, bajo.
George: guitarra, coro.
Ringo: batería.

What goes on

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 I 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.

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.John: coro, guitarra rítmica.
Paul: coro, bajo.
George: guitarra.
Ringo: voz, batería.

Girl

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!

When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her
she will turn to me and start to cry
and she promises the earth to me and I believe her
after all this times I don't know why
ah, 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, cool, cool, cool
girl!

Was she told when she was young the fame
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 he's dead?
ah girl!John: voz, guitarra acústica.
Paul: coros, bajo.
George: coros, guitarra.
Ringo: batería.

George Martin: armonio.

I'm looking through you

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.John: coro, guitarra acústica.
Paul: voces, bajo, guitarras.
George: guitarra.
Ringo: batería, tamborín, órgano Hammond.

In my life

There are places I remember
all my life though some have changed
some forever not for better
some have gone and some remain
all these places have 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 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 love you more.

In my life I love you more.John: voz, guitarra.
Paul: coro, bajo.
George: coro, guitarra.
Ringo: batería.

George Martin: teclados.

Wait

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've 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've 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've cried.John: voces, guitarra rítmica.
Paul: voces, bajo.
George: guitarra.
Ringo: batería, maracas, tamborín.

If I needed someone

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.John: coro, guitarra rítmica.
Paul: coro, bajo
George: voces, guitarra de 12 cuerdas.
Ringo: batería, tamborín.

George Martin: armonio.

Run for your life

Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl
than to be with another man
you better keep your head, little girl
or I won't know where I am.

You 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 ah little girl.

Well I 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.

Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
baby, I'm determined
and I'd rather see you dead.John: voz, guitarra acústica.
Paul: coro, bajo
George: coro, guitarra
Ringo: batería, maracas, tamborín.
