With their allotted studio time almost up, The Beatles took part in a 13-hour session to finish Rubber Soul, beginning at 6pm on November 11, 1965, and ending at 7am the following morning.
The group recorded two takes of the rhythm track for “You Won’t See Me,” and a number of overdubs. These inclu...
[Verse 1]
When I call you up, your line's engaged
I have had enough, so act your age
We have lost the time that was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
[Chorus]
If you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)
[Verse 2]
I don't know why you
Should want to hide (Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la)
But I can't get through
My hands are tied (Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la)
I won't want to stay
I don't have much to say (Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la)
But I get turned away (Ooh, la la la)
[Chorus]
And you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)
[Bridge]
Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing (No, I wouldn't, no, I wouldn't)
[Verse 3]
Though the days are few
They're filled with tears (Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la)
And since I lost you
It feels like years (Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la)
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone (Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la)
And I just can't go on (Ooh, la la la)
[Chorus]
If you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)
[Bridge]
Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing (No, I wouldn't, no, I wouldn't)
[Verse 3]
Though the days are few
They're filled with tears (Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la)
And since I lost you
It feels like years (Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la)
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone (Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la)
And I just can't go on (Ooh, la la la)
[Chorus]
If you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)
[Outro]
(Yeah) Ooh, la la la (Yeah, yeah)
Ooh, la la la

The Beatles released You Won’t See Me on Fri Dec 03 1965.
To me it was very Motown-flavored. It’s got a James Jamerson feel. He was the Motown bass player, he was fabulous, the guy who did all those great melodic bass lines. It was him, me, and Brian Wilson who were doing melodic bass lines at that time, all from completely different angles, LA, Detroit...
