Got To Get You Into My Life
Beatles · Revolver
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
could see another kind of mind there
Ooo, then I suddenly see you
Ooo, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
You didn't run, you didn't hide
You know i wanted just to hold you
And had you gone, you knew in time
We'd meet again for I had told you
Ooo, you were meant to be near me
Ooo, and I want you to hear me
Say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life
What can I do, what can I be
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Ooo, then I suddenly see you
Ooo, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life
I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
could see another kind of mind there
Ooo, then I suddenly see you
Ooo, did I tell you I need you
Every single day
Got To Get You Into My Life
Released on the Beatles' 1966 album Revolver, "Got To Get You Into My Life" stands as a pivotal example of the group's transition toward a more mature, jazz-influenced sound. Composed by John Lennon and credited to Lennon-McCartney, the track features a distinctive, rolling bassline and a complex chord progression that reflects the band's growing sophistication during the mid-1960s. The song's lyrics, delivered with a gentle, conversational tone by Lennon, explore themes of longing and the desire to connect with someone special, avoiding the overt sexual themes that would soon define their later work. As a staple of the British Invasion, it remains a cherished piece of rock history, showcasing the Beatles' ability to blend pop accessibility with sophisticated musical arrangement.
