It's Only Love

Beatles · Help !

I get high when I see you go by, my oh my
When you sigh my inside just flies, butterflies
why am I so shy when I'm beside you

It's only love and that is all
Why should I feel the way I do
It's only love and that is all
But it's so hard loving you

Is it right that you and I should fight, every night
just the sight of you makes nighttime bright, very bright
haven't I the right to make up girl

It's only love and that is all
Why should I feel the way I do
It's only love and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Yes it's so hard loving you
Loving you

The track features the band's signature harmonies and a driving rhythm that defined the mid-60s era. While often associated with their later romantic ballads, this recording showcases the group's ability to blend upbeat energy with tender sentiment. It remains a staple of their discography, illustrating the band's evolution from simple pop structures to more complex arrangements while maintaining their core identity. The song's enduring appeal lies in its catchy melody and the collective vocal performance that became a hallmark of their work.
