You Know What To Do
The Beatles · Anthology (Part 1) [1995]
When I see you
I just don't know what to say.
I like to be with you
every hour of the day.
So if you want me
just like I need you,
you know what to do.
I watched you walking by
and you looked alone.
I hope that you won't mind
if I walk you home.
And if you want me
just like I need you,
you know what to do.
Just call on me
when you're lonely.
I'll keep my love
for you only.

if I'm lonely too.
Understand I'll stay
with you every day.
Make you love me more
in every way.

You Know What To Do
Released as part of The Beatles' 1995 Anthology series, 'You Know What To Do' stands as a poignant reflection on the band's final days. Recorded during the tumultuous period leading up to their breakup, the track captures the group's introspective mood and the uncertainty surrounding their future. The song features a distinctive arrangement that blends the band's signature pop sensibilities with a more subdued, almost melancholic atmosphere, characteristic of their later work. It serves as a musical document of a specific era, highlighting the emotional complexity present in The Beatles' final recordings before their dissolution in 1970.
