I Want To Tell You
The Beatles · Revolver (Remastered) [2009]
My head is filled with things to say
When your here
All those words
They seem to slip away
When I get near you
The games begin to drag me down
It's alright
I'll make you make me next time around
But if I seem to act unkind
It's only me
It's not my mind
That is confusing things
I want to tell you
I feel hung up
But I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever
I've got time
Sometimes I wish I knew you well
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe you'd understand
I want to tell you
I feel hung up
But I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever
I've got time

The track serves as a poignant expression of longing and intimacy, reflecting the personal dynamics within the band during a period of creative maturity. Its inclusion on the remastered edition highlights its enduring quality and significance in the canon of rock history. As a key component of *Revolver*, the song remains a testament to The Beatles' ability to craft complex, emotionally resonant music that continues to influence artists across genres.
