Lyrics
From the Beatles song, ladies and gentlemen
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover, ah, ah, damn
Something in the way she woos me
Don’t wanna leave her now
You know I believe and how
Something in her smile that shows
I don’t need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don’t wanna leave her now
You know I believe and how
You’re asking me, “Will my love grow?”
I don’t know, I don’t know
You stick around now, it may show
I don’t know, I don’t know
Something in the way she moves
Gets me like no other
Something in the way she woos me
Don’t wanna leave her now
You know I believe and how
You’re asking me, “Will my love grow?”
I don’t know, I don’t know
You stick around now, it may show
I don’t know, I don’t know
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don’t wanna leave her now
You know I believe and how
Yeah, baby
Thank you very much
There was a guy, er –
Excuse me
