Do You Want To Know A Secret
Beatles · Please please me
You'll never know how much I really care
Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo
Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo
I've known a secret for a week or two
Nobody knows just we two
Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo, oo

As one of their first major singles, it helped establish the Beatles' reputation in the British Invasion scene. The recording features the distinctive harmonies and acoustic guitar work that defined their initial catalog, showcasing the raw talent of the Liverpool quartet before they evolved into the complex musical giants they would become. Its enduring popularity reflects the timeless appeal of its straightforward composition and infectious rhythm.
