Anna (Go To Him)
Beatles · Please please me
Anna, you come and ask me girl
To set you free, girl
You say he loves you more than me
So I will set you free
Go with him (Anna) Go with him (Anna)
Anna, girl, before go now
I want you to know, now
That I still love you so,
But if he loves you more,
Go with him
All of my life
I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you
oh now
But every girl I ever had
breaks my heart and leaves me sad,
what am I, what am I supposed to do
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Anna, just one more thing girl
You give back your ring to me
And I will set you free,
go with him
All of my life
I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you
But let me tell you now
But every girl I ever had
breaks my heart and leaves me sad,
what am I, what am I supposed to do
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Anna, just one more thing girl
You give back your ring to me
And I will set you free,
go with him (Anna)
go with him (Anna)
You can go with him girl (Anna)
go with him
To set you free, girl
You say he loves you more than me
So I will set you free
Go with him (Anna) Go with him (Anna)
Anna, girl, before go now
I want you to know, now
That I still love you so,
But if he loves you more,
Go with him
All of my life
I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you
oh now
But every girl I ever had
breaks my heart and leaves me sad,
what am I, what am I supposed to do
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Anna, just one more thing girl
You give back your ring to me
And I will set you free,
go with him
All of my life
I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you
But let me tell you now
But every girl I ever had
breaks my heart and leaves me sad,
what am I, what am I supposed to do
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Anna, just one more thing girl
You give back your ring to me
And I will set you free,
go with him (Anna)

You can go with him girl (Anna)
