The Night Before Lyrics
[Verse 1: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
We said our goodbyes (Ah, the night before)
Love was in your eyes (Ah, the night before)
Now, today, I find
You have changed your mind
Treat me like you did the night before
[Verse 2: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
Were you telling lies? (Ah, the night before?)
Was I so unwise? (Ah, the night before?)
When I held you near
You were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before
[Bridge: Paul McCartney]
Last night is a night
I will remember you by
When I think of things we did
It makes me wanna cry!
[Verse 3: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
We said our goodbye (Ah, the night before)
Love was in your eyes (Ah, the night before)
Now, today, I find
You have changed your mind
Treat me like you did the night before
(Yes)
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain: Paul McCartney]
When I held you near
You were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before
[Bridge: Paul McCartney]
Last night is a night
I will remember you by
When I think of things we did
It makes me wanna cry
[Verse 4: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
Were you telling lies? (Ah, the night before?)
Was I so unwise? (Ah, the night before?)
When I held you near
You were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before
Like the night before
