Something
Beatles · Abbey Road
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Its complex chord progressions and intricate guitar work set a new standard for rock ballads, earning widespread critical acclaim upon release. The song's enduring popularity highlights Harrison's growth as a composer and his ability to craft melodies that resonate across generations. As a defining track of the band's final studio album, 'Something' remains a vital part of The Beatles' legacy and the broader canon of rock music history.
