The Beatles – ‘She Loves You’ Live in 1963
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
‘She Loves You’ by The Beatles has an inherently magical quality to it. I’m not sure if it’s the music or the young men playing it, but something about it was strong enough to draw teens across the world together in the name of Beatlemania and endure over 50 years after the 4 lads from Liverpool arrived on the scene!
The Beatles’ ‘She Loves You’ popularized the phrase “yeah, yeah, yeah.” Paul McCartney’s dad wanted them to sing “yes, yes, yes” instead because he thought it sounded more dignified.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney drew inspiration from their hero Elvis Presley and his ability to write a hook that was stupidly simple, but infectious enough to stand the test of time.
The phrase ‘yeah, yeah, yeah’ became so popular after the birth of ‘She Loves You’ that even non-English speakers communicated their love of The Beatles by calling them “The Yeah-Yeahs”.
+ She Loves You lyrics +
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You think you lost your love
When I saw her yesterday
It’s you she’s thinking of
And she told me what to say
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, ooh
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
And 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, ooh
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
