The Beatles - Got To Get You Into My Life Lyrics

The Beatles Lyrics

"Got To Get You Into My Life"

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone you knew in time we'd meet again
For I had told you

Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you to hear me
Say we'll be together every day

Got to get you into my life

What can I do, what can I be
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

Then suddenly I see you
Did I tell you I need you
Every single day?

Paul McCartney explained, "It's actually an ode to pot, like someone else might write an ode to chocolate or a good claret." He wrote this song after he tried marijuana for the first time.

An actor Joe Pesci was once a singer known as Joe Ritchie in the sixties. He recorded a version of this song for his album "Little Joe Sure Can Sing!" (1968).

The only time that this song was licensed for a film was in 2015 for "Minions" where it can be heard during the end credits.

Earth, Wind & Fire made a very successful cover of this song in 1978 which let them win the Grammy award for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s). Their version topped Soul singles chart and reached number nine on the Hot 100 singles chart.
