The Rare “Yvonne” May Just Be Paul’s McCartney’s BEST Unreleased Song

A 1972 Paul McCartney

Included in the large pile of unreleased McCartney unreleased creations, “Yvonne’s The One” may just be our favorite.

“Yvonne’s the one I’ve been counting on. She said, hold on you’re not the only one, and so I said so long Yvonne.”

We’re not entirely sure who Yvonne is exactly, however, it may be safe to assume that Paul has had his heart broken early in life.

Interesting Fact: Paul McCartney wrote his first song, “I Lost My Little Girl”, when he was 14 in 1956.

This stunning melody paired with undeinably beautiful vocals from the great Sir Paul McCartney will literally melt your heart and make you wish your name was Yvonne.

+ Yvonne’s The One Lyrics +

Yvonne’s the one I’ve been counting on
She said, hold on
You’re not the only one,
And so I said so long Yvonne

When I first saw Yvonne, volcanoes erupted
And her laughter flowed into my life
She seemed all right, nothing wrong,
Everything about her was so strong
but I know no one’s gonna keep us apart

Yvonne’s the one I’ve been counting on
She said, hold on
You’re not the only one,
And so I said so long Yvonne

When I saw her again, I was caught in a landslide
But I didn’t dare let it show
Her ruby lips were teasing me
But jealousy would never let us be
So always gonna keep us apart

do do do do

She never knew how much I loved her
I never got to tell her
We never found a way to say farewell
Yvonne do do do do do

Yvooooonne

When I last saw Yvonne
She’s covered in roses
But sadness had ended her life
She walked so tall, she looked so tan
Everything about her was so grand
But what you get is not what you see
So long Yvonne you’re not fooling me

Yvonne
Yvonne’s the one I’ve been counting on
She said, hold on
You’re not the only one,
And so I said, so long Yvonne.

Yvonne
Yvonne’s the one I’ve been counting on
She said so long you’re not the only one,
And so I said, so long Yvonne.

So long Yvonne
