Not A Second Time
Beatles · With the Beatles
You know you made me cry
I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you
And now you've changed your mind
I see no reason to change mine
I cry it's through, oh
You're giving me the same old line
I'm wondering why
You hurt me then
You're back again
No, no, no, not a second time
not a second time
You know you made me cry
I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you
And now you've changed your mind
I see no reason to change mine
I cry it's through, oh
You're giving me the same old line
I'm wondering why
You hurt me then
You're back again
No, no, no, not a second time
not a second time
Not the second time
no, no, no, no, no
no, no no
I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you
And now you've changed your mind
I see no reason to change mine
I cry it's through, oh
You're giving me the same old line
I'm wondering why
You hurt me then
You're back again
No, no, no, not a second time
not a second time
You know you made me cry
I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you
And now you've changed your mind
I see no reason to change mine
I cry it's through, oh
You're giving me the same old line
I'm wondering why
You hurt me then
You're back again
No, no, no, not a second time

Not A Second Time
Recorded during the Beatles' 1963 sessions for With the Beatles, 'Not A Second Time' stands as a quintessential example of the group's early pop-rock sound. The track features the band's signature harmonies and driving rhythm, capturing the energy of their mid-1960s era. While often overshadowed by their more famous singles, the song showcases John Lennon's songwriting and Paul McCartney's melodic sensibility within the context of the British Invasion. It remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the band's ability to blend catchy hooks with genuine musicality during their formative years.
