She Loves You

Release date: 23 August 1963

She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh,
She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh.

You think you lost your love,
Well I saw her yesterday - yi - yay.
She says she loves you,
And you know that can't be bad,
Yes, she loves you,
And you know you should be glad.

She said you hurt her so,
She almost lost her mind,
And now she says she knows,
You're not the hurting kind.

She says she loves you,
And you know that can't be bad,
She says she loves you,
And you know you should be glad.

She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh,
She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh.
And with a love like that,
You know you should be glad.

You know it's up to you,
I think it's only fair,
Pride can hurt you too,
Apologize to her.

Because she loves,
And you know that can't be bad,
Yes, she loves you,
And you know you should be glad.

She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh,
She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh.
With a love like that,
You know you should be glad.
With a love like that,
You know you should be glad.
With a love like that,
You know you should be glad.
Yeh, yeh, yeh,
Yeh, yeh, yeh.
