Sexy Sadie
Beatles · Anthology 3
You made a fool of everyone
You made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie, ooh, what have you done
Sexy Sadie you broke the rules
You laid it down for all to see
You laid it down for all to see
Sexy Sadie, ooh, you broke the rules
One sunny day the world was waiting for a lover
She came along to turn on everyone
Sexy Sadie the greatest of them all
Sexy Sadie how did you know
The world was waiting just for you
The world was waiting just for you
Sexy Sadie, ooh, how did you know
Sexy Sadie you'll get yours yet
However big you think you are
However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie, ooh, you'll get yours yet
We gave her everything we owned
just to sit at her table
Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sadie she's the latest
and the greatest of them all
Ha, She made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie
Ha, However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie

Released in 1963, "Sexy Sadie" stands as a defining track in the Beatles' early catalog, showcasing the band's evolving songwriting and studio experimentation. Originally recorded as a B-side to "She's a Woman," the song features a distinctive, repetitive guitar riff that became a signature element of their sound. The lyrics, penned by John Lennon, depict a seductive woman who is ultimately unfaithful, a theme that resonated deeply with the youth culture of the time. While often associated with the band's 1963-1964 era, the track has been reissued on various compilations, including the "Anthology" series, highlighting its enduring status as a classic rock and roll recording. Its rhythmic drive and melodic simplicity cemented its place in the canon of influential pop music.
