1. I SAW HER STANDING THERE
McCartney/Lennon

Well she was just seventeen
do you know what i mean
and the way she looked
was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
when I saw her standing there.

She looked at me
and I, I could see
that before too long
I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another
when I saw her standing there.

Well my heart went zoom
when I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine !

Oh, we danced through the night
and we held each other tight
and before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Oh, since I saw her standing there.


2. MISERY
McCartney/Lennon

You've been treating me bad
Misery
I'm the kind of guy
who never used to cry
but now you're treating me bad
Misery

I've lost you now I'm sure
I won't see you noo more
It's gonna be the drag
Misery

I remember all the little things we've done
You'll remember and you'll be the lonely one, lonely one.
Please come back to me
'Cause ev'ryone can see
Without you I will be
In misery.

Alexander

Anna,
You come and ask me girl
to set you free girl

so I will set you free
go with him
Anna

Anna,
girl before you go now
I want you to know now
the hast you love me so
but if he loves you more,
go with him

All of my life
I've been searching for a girl
to love me like I loved you
Oh now, but every girl I've ever had
breaks my heart and leave me sad
What am I, what am I supposed to do ?

Anna,
Just one more thing girl
You give back your ring to me
and I will set you free
Go with him.


4. CHAINS
Goffin/King

Chains
My baby's got me locked in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Wooh these chains I've loved,
got a hold on me, yeah.

Chains
Well I can't break away from you chains
Can't run around, cos I'm not free
Wooh these chains I've loved
won't let me be, yeah.

I wanna tell you pretty baby
I thank you fine
I'd like to love you
But darling I've been prisoned by these chains.

My baby's got me locked in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Wooh these chains I've loved,
got a hold on me, yeah.

Please believe me when I tell you
Your lips are sweet
I'd like to kiss 'em
But I can't break away from all of these chains !

Chains ... Chains I've loved.


5. BOYS
Dixon/Farrell

I've been told when a boy kiss a girl
Take a trip around the world.

My girl says when I kiss her lips
Get a thrill through her fingertips.

Well I talk about boys, (yeah yeah boys !)
Don't you know I mean boys, (yeah yeah boys !)
Well I talk about boys now (yeah yeah boys !)
Aaah, boys ! (yeah yeah boys !)
Well I talk about boys now
What a bundle of joy !
(allright George !)

My girl says when I kiss her lips
Get a thrill through her fingertips.


6. ASK ME WHY
McCartney/Lennon

I love you, 'cause you tell me things I want to know.
And it's true, that it really only cause to show
that I know, that I, I'd, I'd, I'd
should never never never be blue.

Now you're mine
My happiness still makes me cry
And in time, you'll understand the reason why
If I cry, it's not because I'm sad
But you're the only love that I've ever had.

I can't believe
It's happening to me
I can't can't see
of any more, misery !

Ask me why
I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you.


7. PLEASE PLEASE ME
McCartney/Lennon

Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try girl
Come on come on come on come on
Please please me oh yeh, like I please you.

You don't need me to show the way love
Why do I always have to say love
Come on come on
Please please me oh yeh like I please you

But you know there's always rain in my heart
I do all the pleasing with you
It's so hard to reason with you
Oh yeh, why do you make me blue ?

As I write to Sally
Send my love to you

be in love with you.

Treasure these few words 'till we're together
Keep all my love for ever

Until the day I do love
PS I love you.


10. BABY IT'S YOU
David/Williams/Bacharach

Shalalalalalala...
It's not the way you smile that touched my heart
It's not the way you kiss that tears me apart oh oh !
Many, many, many nights go by,
I'm still low and home I cry over you
What can I do ?
Can't help myself !
'Cause baby it's you

Baby it's you !

You should hear what they say about you (Cheat, cheat!)
They say, they say you'd never never never ever been true (Cheat, cheat!)
It doesn't matter what they say
I know I'm gonna love you any all way
What can I do when it's true
Don't want nobody, nobody !
'Cause baby it's you.

Baby it's you !
Don't leave me alone !


11. DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET ?
McCartney/Lennon

You'll never know how much I really love you
You'll never know 'cause ...

Listen,
Do you want to know a secret ?
Do you promise not to tell ?
Closer,
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear :
I'm in love with you

I've known a secret for a week or two
Nobody knows, just we two.


12. A TASTE OF HONEY
Scott/Marlow

A taste of honey
Tasting much sweeter than wine

I dream of your first kiss and heaven !
I feel upon my lips again
A taste of honey !
Tasting much sweeter than wine.

I will return
Yes I will return
I'll come back for the honey and you.

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart
There lingers still though we're far apart
That taste of honey ! (A taste of honey !)
Tasting much sweeter than wine.

Oh I will return
Yes I will return
I'll come back
I'll come back (you'll come back!) for the honey, for the honey... and you.


13. THERE'S A PLACE
McCartney/Lennon

There
there's a place
where I can go
when I feel low
when I feel blue
And it's my mind
and there's no time
when I'm alone.

I think of you
and things you do
go round my head
the things you've said
like I love only you.

In my mind there's no sorrow
Don't you know that it's so ?
There'll be no sad tomorrow
Don't you know that it's so ?


14. TWIST AND SHOUT
Medley/Russell

Well shake it up baby now, (shake it up baby)
Twist and shout, (twist and shout)
Come on, come on, come on, come on baby now, (come on baby)
Come on and work it on out, (work it on out, ooh!)

Well work it on out, (work it on out)
You know you look so good ! (look so good)
You know you got me goin' now, (got me goin')
Just like I knew you would .(like I knew you would, ooh !)

You know you twist it little girl, (twist little girl)
You know you twist so fine, (twist so fine)
Come on and twist a little closer now, (twist a little closer)
And let me know that you're mine. (let me know you're mine, ooh !)
