Think For Yourself Lyrics



Harrison


I've got a word or two
To say about the things that you do
You're telling all those lies
About the good things that we can have
If we close our eyes

Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you

I left you far behind
The ruins of the life that you had in mind
And though you still can't see
I know your mind's made up
You're gonna cause more misery

Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you

Although your mind's opaque
Try thinking more if just for your own sake
The future still looks good
And you've got time to rectify
All the things that you should

Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you

Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you

Some distortion. (Left) Tambourine is picked up (Right)

Although the chorus is repeated, the bass momentarily goes back to the main pattern, alternates a bit, and recovers!
Written by George Harrison, it was one of his first songs included on a Beatles album. His songwriting got dramatically better in his later years with The Beatles and as a solo artist.
McCartney played his bass through a distortion box to get a fuzz effect that dominates the song.
Two years later, this was included in The Beatles movie Yellow Submarine.
