The Beatles - You Won't See Me Lyrics

The Beatles Lyrics

"You Won't See Me"

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
If you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)

I don't know why you
Should want to hide
But I can't get through
My hands are tied
I won't want to stay
I don't have much to say
But I can turn away
And you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)

Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing

Though the days are few
They're filled with tears
And since I lost you
It feels like years
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)

Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing

Though the days are few
They're filled with tears
And since I lost you
It feels like years
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)

Writer(s): Paul McCartney, John Lennon

This song was inspired by the relationship between Paul McCartney and his girlfriend Jane Asher. Though McCartney wrote many love song, this one was more personal and bitter as it reflected the tension between them two when they didn't see each other for some time after Asher temporarily moved to another town to perform in a theater.

The song was the longest The Beatles had recorded to that time having the length of 3:23.

An organ note heard in the final part of the song was played on a Hammond organ by the band's assistant and roadie Mal Evans.

Anne Murray covered "You Won't See Me", and it became a big hit with number 8 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1974.
