BEATLES :: GIRL :: BOOTIK MOOSIK

  • 12 years ago
A John Lennon favorite, 'GIRL' was recorded on the evening of 11 November 1965, the final night of work on the 'Rubber Soul' album.

A touching lead by Louis, some 'artistic breathing' by JF & a powerful C part by the whole BOOTIK bunch, spins this version to unheard heights without compromising the structure, mood nor spirit of this delicate song.

A fine piece of work indeed, just like, well... Most women ;)

THE BEATLES
"Girl"
(Lennon/McCartney)

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much
It makes you sorry
Still, you don't regret a single day
Ah girl
Girl
When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me
And I believe her
After all this times I don't know why
Ah, girl
Girl
She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there, you feel a fool
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood
She's cool, cool, cool, cool
Girl
Girl
Was she told when she was young that pain
Would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn
His day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
Ah girl
Girl
Girl
Ah girl
Girl
Girl
