HARD DAYS NIGHT Beatles (#1,1964)
IT'S BEEN A HARD DAYS NIGHT AND I BEEN WORKING LIKE A DOG

BUT WHEN I GET HOME TO YOU I FIND THE THINGS THAT YOU DO
WILL MAKE ME FEEL ALL RIGHT
YOU KNOW I WORK ALL DAY TO GET YOU MONEY TO BUY YOU THINGS
AND IT'S WORTH IT JUST TO HEAR YOU SAY
YOU'RE GONNA GIVE ME EVERYTHING
SO WHY ON EARTH SHOULD I MOAN 'CAUSE WHEN I GET YOU ALONE
YOU KNOW I FEEL O.K.

WHEN I'M HOME EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE RIGHT
WHEN I'M HOME FEELING YOU HOLDING ME TIGHT, TIGHT--YEAH

I'M LOOKING THROUGH YOU Lennon & McCartney
I'M LOOKING THROUGH YOU, WHERE DID YOU GO
I THOUGHT I KNEW YOU, WHAT DID I KNOW
YOU DON'T LOOK DIFFERENT BUT YOU HAVE CHANGED
I'M LOOKING THROUGH YOU, YOU'RE NOT THE SAME
YOUR LIPS ARE MOVING, I CANNOT HEAR
YOUR VOICE IS SOOTHING BUT THE WORDS AREN'T CLEAR
YOU DON'T SOUND DIFFERENT, I'VE LEARNED THE GAME
I'M LOOKING THROUGH YOU, YOU'RE NOT THE SAME
CHORUS:
WHY, TELL ME WHY DID YOU NOT TREAT ME RIGHT
LOVE HAS A NASTY HABIT OF DISAPPEARING OVERNIGHT
YOU'RE THINKING OF ME THE SAME OLD WAY
YOU WERE ABOVE ME, BUT NOT TODAY
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS YOU'RE DOWN THERE
I'M LOOKING THROUGH YOU AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE

IN MY LIFE Beatles (1965)
THERE ARE PLACES I'LL REMEMBER
ALL MY LIFE, THOUGH SOME HAVE CHANGED
SOME FOREVER, NOT FOR BETTER
SOME HAVE GONE AND SOME REMAIN
ALL THESE PLACES HAVE THEIR MOMENTS
WITH LOVERS AND FRIENDS I STILL CAN RECALL
SOME ARE DEAD AND SOME ARE LIVING
IN MY LIFE I'VE LOVED THEM ALL (half intro)
BUT OF ALL THESE FRIENDS AND LOVERS
THERE IS NONE COMPARES WITH YOU
AND THESE MEM'RIES LOSE THEIR MEANING
WHEN I THINK OF LOVE AS SOMETHING NEW
THOUGH I KNOW I'LL NEVER LOSE AFFECTION
FOR PEOPLE AND THINGS THAT WENT BEFORE
I KNOW I'LL OFTEN STOP AND THINK ABOUT THEM
IN MY LIFE I'LL LOVE YOU MORE (solo)
