[Chorus]
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to

Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about

I think I know, I mean—er—yes, but it's all wrong

[Chorus]
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to
Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
