A number-one hit single for The Beatles, primarily written by Paul McCartney, “Can’t Buy Me Love” was one of their favorite live cuts back in the heyday of Beatlemania.

[Intro]
Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love
[Verse 1]
I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend
If it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything, my friend
If it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love
[Verse 2]
I'll give you all I've got to give
If you say you love me, too
I may not have a lot to give
But what I got, I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love
[Chorus]
Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, no-no-no, no!
[Verse 3]
Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love
Ow!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, no-no-no, no!
[Verse 4]
Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love
[Chorus]
Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love

‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ is my attempt to write a bluesy mode. The idea behind it was that all these material possessions are all very well but they won’t buy me what I really want. It was a very hooky song. Ella Fitzgerald later did a version of it which I was very honoured by.
