The Beatles- She Loves You (1963 Live)
The Beatles tell quite a tale in this tidy Pop song
Some poor guy thinks he has lost his girl for good, but he’s redeemed when he finds out from a friend that she still loves him.
Becoming an instant hit in England, “She Loves You” was the song that catapulted The Beatles into British National spotlight. The Beatles remained looked over in America until Swan Records, (the only US label that would take on the song) released the song in 1963.
That’s when Beatlemania took hold and this became a US hit.
The famous duo that was Lennon and McCartney, began writing this song after attending a concert at the Majestic Ballroom in New Castle when they were touring with Roy Orbison and Gerry and The Pacemakers.
Says McCartney, “There was a Bobby Rydell song out at the time “Forget Him” and, as often happens, you think of one song when you write another. I’d planned an answering song where a couple of us would sing ‘She loves you’ and the other ones would answer ‘Yeah Yeah.’ We sat in the hotel bedroom for a few hours and wrote it, sitting on twin beds with guitars.”
The song was recorded on 1 July 1963, less than a week after it was written.
- The single of this was the first record Ozzy Osbourne ever bought. The Beatles were a big influence on him because they were also poor kids from a small town in England.
+She Loves You lyrics below+
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
You think you’ve lost your love
Well, I saw her yesterday-yi-yay
It’s you she’s thinking of
And she told me what to say-yi-yay
She says she loves you
And you know that can’t be bad
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad
She said you hurt her so
She almost lost her mind
And now she says she knows
You’re not the hurting kind
She says she loves you
And you know that can’t be bad
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad
Oo, she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
You know it’s up to you
I think it’s only fair
Pride can hurt you too
Apologize to her
Because she loves you
And you know that can’t be bad
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad
Oo, she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
