I Saw Her Standing There Lyrics

[Intro: Paul McCartney]
One, two, three, four!

[Verse 1: Paul McCartney & Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Well, she was just seventeen
If you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another?
Ooh, when I saw her standin' there?

[Verse 2: Paul McCartney & Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Well, she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long, I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Woo, when I saw her standin' there

[Bridge: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Well, my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

[Verse 3: Paul McCartney & Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long, I fell in love with her
Now, I'll never dance with another
Woo, since I saw her standin' there

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Well, my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

[Verse 3: Paul McCartney & Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long, I fell in love with her
Now, I'll never dance with another
Ooh, since I saw her standin' there

[Outro: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Oh, since I saw her standin' there
Yeah, well, since I saw her standing there

“I Saw Her Standing There” was my original. I’d started it and I had the first verse, which therefore gave me the tune, the tempo, and the key. It gave you the subject matter, a lot of information, and then you had to fill in. So it was co-written… and we finished it that day.

He added:

“(we) star...
