Baby's in Black Lyrics



Lennon/McCartney


Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?
She thinks of him and so she dresses in black,
And though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black.
Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?
I think of her, but she only thinks of him,
And though it's only a whim, she thinks of him.
Oh how long will it take,
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?
Oh how long it will take,
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?
She thinks of him and so she dresses in black,
And though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black.
Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?

Anomalies

1:30
Bad edit, best heard in right channel, in the words "Babys in black". The strummed guitar appears out of nowhere here, further 'enhancing' the edit. On the CD this is corrected.
* NEW * Also maracas and bass jump up.
* NEW * On the mono CD, this is corrected, but there is a stumblein the drumming at that point.
1:44
Double tracking error:
John (1) says "And though he'll never come back..."
John (2) says "But though she'll never come back..."
1:51 * NEW *
A third voice trails a faint harmony in above the other two, just for "dear, what can I do, baby's in ... feeling blue". Most audible on the word "black".
2:03
Right ear, at the very end, there is a rattling of paper.
