That Means A Lot

The Beatles · As It Happened: Classics Interviews [2000]

A friend says that your love

won't mean a lot

And you know that your love

is all you've got

At times things are so fine

and at times they're not

But when she says she loves you,

that means a lot



A friend says that a love

is never true

And you know that this

don't apply on you

A touch can mean so much

when it's all you've got

When she says she loves you

that means a lot



Love can be deep inside,

love can be suicide

Can't you see you can't hide

what you feel when it's real



A friend says that your love

won't mean a lot

And you know that your love

is all you've got

A touch can mean so much

when it's all you've got

When she says she loves you

that means a lot



Can't you see, yeah

Can't you see, yeah

Can't you see, yeah

Can't you see, yeah

Can't you see, yeah

Can't you see, yeah

Can't you see, yeah

Can't you see, yeah
