She's A Woman Lyrics (Lennon/McCartney)




My love don't give me presents.
I know that she's no peasant,
Only ever has to give me love forever and forever,
My love don't give me presents,
Turn me on when I get lonely,
People tell me that she's only
Foolin', I know she isn't.

She don't give the boys the eye,
She hates to see me cry,
She is happy just to hear me say
That I will never leave her.
She don't give the boys the eye,
She will never make me jealous,
Gives me all her time as well as lovin',
Don't ask me why.

She's a woman who understands.
She's a woman who loves her man.

She's a woman, she's a woman.

Where I* should be the IV chord. The rest of the group change, but he doesn't!

* NEW * Apparently bootlegs of early takes show the guitarist having real difficulty with the chords on an ongoing basis, leading to several mistakes.

It was a big deal for John Lennon and Paul McCartney to use "Turn Me On" in the lyrics. It was a drug reference. Years later, they would use the line "I'd love to turn you on" in "A Day In The Life."
B side of "I Feel Fine."
Written and recorded the same day.
A chocalho, a type of metal shaker, was used for percussion.
In 1965, a Tex-Mex group called the Sir Douglas Quintet released a song called "She's About A Mover" which was a direct rip-off of this. That song hit #13 in the US.
