Michelle
The Beatles · The Beatles Stereo Box Set [2009]
These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble
très bien ensemble
I love you, I love you, I love you
that's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that you'll understand
Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble
très bien ensemble
I need to, I need to, I need to
I need to make you see
Oh, what you mean to me
Until I do I'm hoping you will know what I mean
I love you
I want you, I want you, I want you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you some how
Until I do I'm telling you, so you'll understand
Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble
très bien ensemble
And I will say the only words I know that you'll understand
My Michelle

Recorded during The Beatles' 1965 sessions, "Michelle" stands as a pivotal moment in the group's evolution toward studio experimentation and jazz-influenced composition. Written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon-McCartney, the track features a distinctive, looping guitar riff that became a signature of the band's later sound. The song was originally released on the 1965 album *Rubber Soul*, though this specific recording appears on the 2009 Stereo Box Set compilation. Its inclusion in the *With The Beatles* remastered edition highlights its enduring status as a classic rock and roll track. The piece showcases The Beatles' growing sophistication in songwriting and arrangement, moving beyond simple pop structures into more complex musical territories while maintaining their melodic appeal.
