She Said She Said

Release date: 05 August 1966

She said I know what it's like to be dead,
I know what it is to be sad,
And she's making me feel like I've never been born.
I said who put all those things in your head,
Things that make feel that I'm mad,
And you're making me feel like I've never been born.
She said you don't understand what I said,
I said no no no you're wrong, when I was a boy,
Everything was right, everything was right.
I said even though you know what you know,
I know that I'm ready to leave,
Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born.
She said you don't understand what I said,
I said no no no you're wrong, when I was a boy,
Everything was right, everything was right.
I said even though you know what you know,
I know that I'm ready to leave,
Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born.
She said I know what it's like to be dead,
I know what it is to be sad,
I know what it's like to be dead.
