I Want To Tell You Lyrics



Harrison


I want to tell you
My head is filled with things to say
When you're here
All those words, they seem to slip away

When I get near you,
The games begin to drag me down
It's all right
I'll make you maybe next time around

But if I seem to act unkind
It's only me, it's not my mind
That is confusing things.

I want to tell you
I feel hung up but I don't know why,
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time

Sometimes I wish I knew you well,
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe you'd understand

I want to tell you
I feel hung up but I don't know why,
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time, I've got time, I've got time

George tries out the opening vocal line "I want to tell you". OOPS again.
George Harrison wrote this. He said it's "About the avalanche of thoughts that are so hard to write down or say or transmit."
This was the first Beatles song where the bass was overdubbed after recording.
The working titles for this song were "Laxton's Supreme" and "I Don't Know." (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)
