She Loves You Lyrics (Lennon/McCartney)




She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You think you lost your love,
When I saw her yesterday.
It's you she's thinking of
And she told me what to say.
She says she loves you
And you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad. Ooh!

She said you were to know
That she almost lost her mind.
And now she says she knows
You're not the hurting kind.
She says she loves you
And you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad. Ooh!

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
And with a love like that
You know you should be glad.

And now it's up to you,
I think it's only fair,
If I should hurt you, too,
Apologize to her
Because she loves you
And you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad. Ooh!

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
And with a love like that
You know you should be glad.

Take:

Anomalies

0:12
A quick warping drop in cymbal sound.
0:37,1:16
As the guitar plays one of the transitions, the hi-hat loses its high-end. Sounds like it could be a repeat edit, like at 0:12
1:03
Another phasing of hi-hat sound as "glaaaad" ends, just before "wooooooo"
1:23-1:30
Bad edit right after the line "I think it's only fair"...even the cymbals sound different. The drop in ends after the line "Because she loves you". * NEW * Reported as not audible in Capitol Remix, but is reported audible on Red Album
Danny Caccavo says :-
I examined this on a workstation, and I think that somebody (after the initial release) mangled or stretched the tape, and copied a piece from a 45 (record) and edited it in. The insert piece has audible clicks in it when analysed at slow speed. Since the Capitol version doesn't have this, this might be an explanation.

Dave Prokopy says :-
The great number of edits is understandable ... they were still working on 2-track recording, primarily an instrumental on one and usually live vocals on the other. The only way to overdub was to make a copy while adding a new element. This meant an extra layer of hiss ... to minimise this, George Martin would make a copy with the overdubs added, and then edit JUST the overdubbed sections into the mono mix of the basic recording. Therefore only the overdubbed sections would have the extra hiss, not the whole song.

It sounds like Martin had the boys overdub an extra set of "Yeah Yeah Yeahs" ... those three words sound a lot fuller ... the downside is that this created a ton of extra edits.

Subsequent versions are cleaned up, with more obvious edits digitally tightened.
Every chorus * NEW *
Distinctly sounds like "She loves you, She'd love to, She loves you"
This popularized the phrase "yeah, yeah, yeah." Paul McCartney's dad wanted them to sing "yes, yes, yes" instead because he thought it sounded more dignified.
This was an instant hit in the England, but not in America, where it was released on Swan records, the only US label that would take it. Swan put it out in September 1963, but while The Beatles were huge in England, they were still no big deal in America until February 1964. That's when Beatlemania took hold and this became a US hit.
Jack Paar played a video clip of this on his show on January 3, 1964. The Beatles had appeared on news clips as part of stories about their success in England, but this was the first time they appeared on a US TV talk show.
One of 3 Beatles songs that was never released in stereo. The others were "Love Me Do" and "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)." (thanks, don - rapid city, SD)
The Beatles released a German version translated as "Sie Liebt Dich" in the US in 1964. They learned some German when they became the house band in Hamburg in 1962.
In the UK, this was the biggest-selling Beatles single. It was the held the record for top-selling UK single of all time until 1977, when Wings (led by McCartney) topped it with "Mull Of Kintrye."
The Beatles played this on both of their live Ed Sullivan Show appearances. When The Beatles agreed to do the show, they were not a big deal in America and took less money than most acts received for their fee.
When The Beatles performed on The Ed Sullivan Show for the first time, it got the largest audience ever for a TV show. Sullivan began having regular musical guests from the world of popular music, and it became a showcase for groups like The Rolling Stones, The Supremes, Santana and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
In England, this hit #1 twice in 1963, first on Sept 4 and again on Nov 20.
The single of this was the first record Ozzy Osbourne ever bought. The Beatles were a big influence on him because they were also poor kids from a small town in England.
This was one of the Beatles songs that held the top 5 positions on the US chart on April 4, 1964. Others were: "Twist and Shout," "Can't Buy Me Love," "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "Please, Please Me."
The Beatles played part of this at the end of "All You Need Is Love," which they recorded 4 years later.
