The Beatles - Eight Days A Week Lyrics

The Beatles Lyrics

"Eight Days A Week"

Ooh, I need your love, babe
Guess you know it's true
Hope you need my love, babe
Just like I need you

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
Ain't got nothing but love, babe
Eight days a week.

Love you every day, girl
Always on my mind
One thing I can say, girl
Love you all the time

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
Ain't got nothing but love, girl
Eight days a week.

Eight days a week
I love you
Eight days a week
Is not enough to show I care

Ooh, I need your love, babe
Guess you know it's true
Hope you need my love, babe
Just like I need you

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
Ain't got nothing but love, babe
Eight days a week

Eight days a week
I love you
Eight days a week
Is not enough to show I care

Love you every day, girl
Always on my mind
One thing I can say, girl
Love you all the time

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
Ain't got nothing but love, babe
Eight days a week
Eight days a week
Eight days a week

Thanks to Kathryn O'Reilly for correcting these lyrics.

Writer(s): Paul McCartney, John Lennon

There are two versions of the title's origin: once Paul McCartney was driven in a car, and a chauffeur said, that he was very busy as if working eight days a week; or Ringo Starr said this phrase as if he was a hard-working chauffeur according to McCartney's later recollection.

This song is the first popular song where the music rises from the silence at the beginning.

This song borrows a chord sequence from the song "It's the Same Old Song" by The Four Tops.

The band, especially John Lennon, considered this song not very impressive, and it was never performed live during their career. The first live performance was made by Paul McCartney at a concert in Brazil in 2013.
