I
Don't Wanna See You Again
The
third Paul McCartney composition to be recorded by Peter & Gordon. It
was issued on 11 September 1964, it reached no. 16 in America.
I
hear that love is planned /How can I understand
When
someone says to me / I don't wanna see you again
Why
do I cry at night ? / Something wrong could be right
I
hear you say to me / I don't wanna see you again
As
you turned your back on me / You hid the light of the day
I
didn't have to play / At being broken hearted
I
know that later on / After love's been and gone
I'll
still hear someone say / I don't wanna see you again
Nobody
I Know
The
second number from Paul to Peter & Gordon, issued on 24th May 1964
reached no. 9 in charts. Peter, Jane Asher's brother, at that time Paul's
girlfriend, it would be Apple Record's Director, introduced to the market
the composer/singer James Taylor and later gone along with him to America.
Nobody
I know could love me more than you
You
can give me so much love it seems untrue
Listen
to the bird who sings it in the tree
And
then when you heard him see if you agree
Nobody
I know could love me more than you
Everywhere
I go the sun comes shining through
Everyone
I know is sure it shines for you
Even
in my dreams I look into your eyes
Suddenly
it seems I've found a paradise
Everywhere
I go the sun comes shining through
It
means so much to be a part / Of a heart of a wonderful one
When
other lovers are gone / We'll live on, we'll live on
That
Means A Lot
It
was written by John and Paul for the album Help. The Beatles recorded it on
20 February 1965 but they gave up from it. P.J. Proby recorded the
song at Abbey Road Studios on 7 April 1965, but the recorded wasn't a hit
for him.
A
friend says that your love won't mean a lot
And
you know that your love is all you got
At
times things are so fine / And the times they're not
But
when she says she loves you / That means a lot
A
friend says that a love is never true
And
you know that this can't apply to you
A
touch can mean so much / When it's all you got
But
when she says she loves you / That means a lot
Love
can be deep inside
Love
can be suicide
Can't
you see you can't hide
What
you feel when it's real
Woman
Paul
wrote specially for Peter & Gordon. Paul used the pseudonym Bernard Webb
when he wrote this song. When it entered to the charts, Paul admitted that
he had written it but wanted to see if he could enter the charts without
using the magical Lennon & McCartney name. The name of the song mustn't
confounded with " Woman " recorded by Mike McGear ( Paul's brother
) and " Woman " recorded by John Lennon in 1980.
Woman,
do you love me ? / Woman , if you need me then believe me
I
need you to be my woman
And
should you ask me how I'm doing / What shall I say, things are o.k.
Well,
I know that they're not / And I still may have lost you
And
should you take your time and tell you / Love will come home when we're
alone
I
would give my world / If you'll say that my girl is my woman
I've
got plenty of time / Help me just to get through it/ Once again you'll be
mine
I
still think we can do it / And you know how much I love you
Woman,
don't forsake me / Woman, if you take me then believe me
I'll
take you to be my woman
One
And One Is Two
John
&Paul wrote this song in January 1964 when they were staying in Paris.
In according to " The Ultimate Beatles Encyclopedia " it is said
that John commented " Billy J's career is finished when he gets the
song ". Kramer didn't like it and the song was recorded by The
Strangers and nothing happened.
One
and one is two / What am I to do / Now that I'm in love with you
I'm
hoping everyday / I'm gonna hear you say / You really make my wishes come
true
Can't
you feel when I'm holding you near / All the things I do
Show
my love and I'm making it clear / One and one is two
Can't
you see I loved you from the start / Do you love me too
I
love you but you're breaking my heart / From wanting you
If
you say that you're gonna be mine / Everything is alright
All
the world would look so fine / If you'd mine tonight
World
Without Love
Composition
by Paul and the first of four songs he would give to Peter & Gordon. The
number took the duo to the top in Britain and America, with world sales
passing the million mark. The Beatles never recorded the song and it wasn't
part of their repertoire.
Please
lock me away / And don't allow the day
Here
inside where I hide / With my loneliness
I
don't care what they say / I won't stay in a world without love
Birds
sings out of tune / And rainclouds hide the moon
I'm
o.k. here I'll stay / With my loneliness
I
don't care what they say / I won't stay in a world without love
So
I wait and in a while / I will see my true love smile / She may come, I know
not when
When
she does I'll know / So, baby, until then
Lock
me away / And don't allow the day
Here
inside where I hide / With my loneliness
I
don't care what they say / I won't stay in a world without love
I'll
Be On My Way
Recorded
by Billy J. Kramer it was used on the flipside of debut single " Do You
Want To Know a Secret " issued in April 1963. The Beatles played it at
BBC radio show called " Side By Side " on 24 June 1963. That
version was released on CD " Live At BBC " in 1994.
The
sun is fading away / That's the end of the day
As
the June light turns to moonlight / I'll be on my way
It's
just one kiss and I'll go / Don't hide the tears that don't show
When
the June light turns to moonlight / I'll be on my way
To
where the winds don't blow / And golden rivers flow / This way I will go
They
were right, I was wrong / True love didn't last long
As
the June light turns to moonlight / I'll be on my way
Bad
To Me
Written
by John Lennon for second Billy J. Kramer's single, it was issued on 26 July
1963. The disc brought to Billy his second no.1 chart in Britain selling
more than a milion copies, at that time.
If
you ever leave me I'll be sad and blue
Don't
you ever leave me I'm so in love with you
The
birds in the sky would be sad and lonely if they knew
That
I lost my one and only / They'd be sad, don't be bad to me
The
leaves in the trees would be softly sighing if they heard from the breeze
That
you left me crying / They'd be sad, don't be bad to me
But
I know you won't leave me / 'Cause you told me so
I
have no intention of letting you go
Just
as long as you let me know
You
won't be bad to me
So
the birds in the sky won't be sad and lonely 'cause they know
That
I've got my one and only
They'll
be glad, you're not bad to me
It's
For You
Waltz

and Paul attended the recording session, with Paul playing piano on the
track. Singer from Liverpool, Cilla recorded " Love Of The Loved "
and " Step Inside Love " both penned by Lennon and McCartney.
I'd
say someday / I'm bound to give my heart away / When I do it's for you
Love,
true love / Seems to be all I'm thinking of / But it's true it's for
you
They
said that love was a lie / Told me that I should never try
To
find somebody who'd be kind / Kind to only me
So
I just tell them they're right / Who wants a fight ? / Tell them I quite
agree
Nobody
would love me / Then I look at you and
Love
comes, Love shows / I give my heart
And
no one knows that I do / It's for you
I'm

You'll
believe me when I tell you / I'm love with you
You're
my kind of girl / You make me proud / You make me want to shout out aloud
I'm
telling all my friends I'm in love
Every
night I can't sleep, thinking of you / And every little thing that you do
I'm

goodbye / Goodbye, my love, goodbye
Songs that lingered
on my lips / Excite me now and linger on my mind
Leave your flowers

lonely love invites me on / I must go to her side

And as I looked
again your face came into sight
I couldn't walk on
until you'd gone from your window
I had to make you
mine I knew you were the one
Oh,I would be glad
just to have a love like that / Oh,I would be true I would live my life for
you
So meet me tonight
just where the light shines from a window
And as I take your
hand say that you'll be mine tonight

Did I hear you say
that there must be a catch? / Will you walk away from a fool and his money ?
If you want it,
Here it is / Come and get it / But you better hurry 'cause it's going fast
