"Hey, sit down and cool it for a minute so you can hear what we are going to do. And for those of you in the band that have no idea what's about to happen. This is in A minor and it's not standard blues changes, but it's close."
John Lennon:
"Yeah, this is a song I used to sing when I was in the Caravan in Liverpool. I haven't done it since, so..."
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well, well;
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well, well,
You know I love you, honey child,
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you right now.
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well.
You know I love you, baby, please don't go;
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, uh -
You know I love you, honey child,
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you right now.
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well.
