The Night Before

The Beatles · Help! (Remastered) [2009]

We said our good-byes

Love was in your eyes

Now today I find

You have changed your mind

Treat me like you did the night before



Were you telling lies?

Was I so unwise

When I held you near

You were so sincere

Treat me like you did the night before, yeah



Last night is the night I will remember you by

When I think of things we did

It makes me wanna cry



We said our good-byes

Love was in your eyes

Now today I find

You have changed your mind

Treat me like you did the night before, yes



When I held you near

You were so sincere

Treat me like you did the night before



Last night is the night I will remember you by

When I think of things we did

It makes me wanna cry



Were you telling lies?

Was I so unwise

When I held you near

You were so sincere

Treat me like you did the night before

Like the night before
