Anna (Go To Him)

The Beatles · Please Please Me (Remastered) [2009]

Anna, you come and ask me girl

To set you free, girl

You say he loves you more than me

So I will set you free

Go with him (Anna) Go with him (Anna)



Anna, girl, before go now

I want you to know, now

That I still love you so,

But if he loves you more,

Go with him



All of my life

I've been searching for a girl

To love me like I love you

oh now

But every girl I ever had

breaks my heart and leaves me sad,

what am I, what am I supposed to do

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,



Anna, just one more thing girl

You give back your ring to me

And I will set you free,

go with him



All of my life

I've been searching for a girl

To love me like I love you

But let me tell you now

But every girl I ever had

breaks my heart and leaves me sad,

what am I, what am I supposed to do

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,



Anna, just one more thing girl

You give back your ring to me

And I will set you free,

go with him (Anna)

go with him (Anna)

You can go with him girl (Anna)

go with him

Anna (Go To Him)

Released on The Beatles' 1958 debut album Please Please Me, 'Anna (Go To Him)' stands as a quintessential example of the group's early rock and roll sound. Recorded in a single take during their first studio session, the track features the band's signature interplay between John Lennon's melodic vocals and Paul McCartney's bass line, anchored by George Martin's crisp production. The song captures the raw energy and youthful exuberance of the Liverpool scene, blending traditional pop structures with emerging rock rhythms. As a cornerstone of the band's early catalogue, it demonstrates their ability to craft catchy, emotionally resonant material that would define their future trajectory. Its inclusion on the remastered edition highlights its enduring status as a foundational piece in their discography.
