It's Only Love Lyrics



Lennon/McCartney


I get high when I see you go by
My oh my.
When you sigh, my, my inside just flies,
Butterflies
Why am I so shy when I'm beside you?
It's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all,
But it's so hard loving you.

Is it right that you and I should fight
Ev'ry night?
Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright,
Very bright.
Haven't I the right to make it up girl?
It's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Yes it's so hard loving you -- loving you.

Anomalies

0:08 * NEW *
John counts in "1,2". The "one" sounds like "hum".
0:41
LP - word "only" loses double tracking. Intentional, to hide an error, as on the CD this has been left in and the timing of "only" is out of place. Mono version also loses double track to correct this problem.
1:03-1:06 * NEW *
John puts a bit too much emphasis on the word "bright" so it sounds like "bbrright" and he lets let's out a slight laugh up until he sings "very bright.". Also lead guitar fill hear is flubbed.
 
John Lennon once said this was the only song he wrote that he truly hated.
An instrumental version was recorded by George Martin and his orchestra. Martin was The Beatles producer.
Original title was "That's a Nice Hat (Cap)."
George Harrison used a tone pedal to produce an unusual guitar sound.
