  I Saw Her Standing There

[1,2,3,4!]

Well, she was just 17
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 standing 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)
When I saw her standing 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

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

(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney

  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 her 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)

(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: John Lennon

  Anna (Go To Him)

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

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

(Alexander)
Lead Vocal: John Lennon

  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...

(Goffin / King)
Lead Vocal: George Harrison

  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

(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: John Lennon

  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
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, '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)

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, 'cause 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

(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)

  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

Oh I will return, yes I will return
I'll come back (He'll come back) for the honey (For the honey) and you

(Scott / Marlow)
Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney

  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...

(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocals: John Lennon and Paul McCartney
