[Intro]
My babe don't buy me presents
How can you laugh when you know I'm down?
Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah
[Verse 1]
I got something to say that might cause you pain
If I catch you talkin' to that boy again
[Refrain]
Gonna let you down (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
And leave you flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before (Good day sunshine)
You can't do that (A hard day's night)
[Verse 2]
It's the second time I caught you talkin' to him (Rain)
I got to tell you one more time, I think it's a sin (I wanna hold your hand)
[Refrain]
Gonna let you down (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
And leave you flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you bеfore (Good day sunshine)
You can't do that (Day tripper, yеah)
[Bridge]
Paperback writer, yeah
Everybody's green, sha-la-la-ooh
'Cause I'm the one who stole your love
But if it's seen, sha-la-la-ooh
Me talkin' that way, they'd laugh in my face, so
[Verse 3]
Please listen to me if you wanna stay mine (Would you like to know a secret?)
I can't help this feeling I'll go out of my mind
[Refrain]
Gonna let you down (Yes, yes, I'm gonna leave you flat)
And leave you flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before
You can't believe in yesterday
[Outro]
My babe don't buy me presents (How can you laugh, you know I'm down?)
Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah
