WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS

What would you think if I sang out of tune

Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?

(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)
No I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)

I need somebody to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love

(Would you believe in a love at first sight?)

Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)

I just need someone to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends

Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

YESTERDAY

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.

Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be.

There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go?

I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong.
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play.

Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she had to go?

I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong.
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play.

Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.

I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something

I think you'll understand
Then 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
Now 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 got that something

I think you'll understand
Then 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 got that something

I think you'll understand
When I feel that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
ELEANOR RIGBY

Ah, look at all the lonely people

Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people

Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody
there
What does he care?

All the lonely people

Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people

Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people

(Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
(Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

Love, love, love

Love, love, love
Love, love, love

There's nothing you can do that can't be done

Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy

Nothing you can make that can't be made

No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy

All you need is love

All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Love, love, love

Love, love, love
Love, love, love

All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Nothing you can know that isn't known

Nothing you can see that isn't shown
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy

All you need is love

All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

All you need is love (All together, now!)
