I Wanna Be Your Man Lyrics



Lennon/McCartney


I wanna be your lover baby,
I wanna be your man,
I wanna be your lover baby,
I wanna be your man.
Tell me that you love me baby,
Like no other can,
Love you like no other baby,
Like no other can.
I wanna be your man,
I wanna be your man.
Tell me that you love me baby,
Tell me you understand,
Tell me that you love me baby,
I wanna be your man.
I wanna be your lover baby,
I wanna be your man,
I wanna be your lover baby,
I wanna be your man.
I wanna be your man,
I wanna be your man.
I wanna be your lover baby,
I wanna be your man,
I wanna be your lover baby,
I wanna be your man.
Tell me that you love me baby,
Like no other can,
Love you like no other baby,
Like no other can.
I wanna be your man,
I wanna be your man.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney were working on this when they were invited to the Rolling Stones' studios. They finished it on the spot and gave it to the Stones, who used it as their second single in England. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were amazed and soon began writing their own songs.
Ringo sang lead. It was his showpiece song during their live performances from 1963-1966.
Contrary to popular opinion, this was not the only song recorded by both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. "Money (That's What I Want)" was recorded by both groups as well. It appears on the album With the Beatles as well as the Stones' More Hot Rocks (Big Hits and Fazed Cookies). (thanks, Joel - Chicago, IL)
