A Hard Day's Night

Beatles · A hard day's night

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel all right

You know I work all day
To get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say
You're gonna give me everything

So why on earth should I moan
'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel okay

When I'm home
everything seems to be all right
when I'm home
feeling you holding me tight, tight

Yeah, it's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel all right, Oh!

So why on earth should I moan
'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel okay

When I'm home
Everything seems to be all right
when I'm home
feeling you holding me tight
all through the night

Yeah, it's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel all right
You know I feel all right
You know I feel all right
