Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl
C’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon)
Please please me, oh yeah, like I please you
You don’t need me to show the way, love
Why do I always have to say “love”
C’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon)
Please please me, oh yeah, like I please you
I don’t wanna sound complaining
But you know there’s always rain in my heart (In my heart)
I do all the pleasing with you, it’s so hard to reason
With you, oh yeah, why do you make me blue
Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl
C’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon)
Please please me, oh yeah, like I please you
(Me) Whoa yeah, like I please you
(Me) Whoa yeah, like I please you
Longing for Mutual Affection
“Please Please Me” by The Beatles is a lively plea for reciprocal affection. The lyrics capture the frustration of one-sided romance, with the narrator urging his partner to show the same enthusiasm and devotion he offers. The repeated lines, “Please please me, oh yeah, like I please you,” highlight his desire for emotional balance and a deeper connection. The song’s upbeat tempo contrasts with the subtle vulnerability in the words, as the narrator admits feeling blue and unappreciated. Through its catchy melody and honest emotion, “Please Please Me” resonates with anyone who has ever wished for their love to be returned in equal measure.
