The music of the Beatles has been a part of my life as long as I can remember thanks to my dad. Although all of their songs are ingeniously composed both lyric and music wise, some lyrics stand out more than others. Recently the countless love songs they composed have had more of an influence on me because of my bf. Some that stand out the most are: (If I Fell)- "If I give my heart/ to you/ I must be sure from the very start/ that you/ would love me more than her (Strawberry Fields)- Let me take you down cuz i'm going to/ Strawberry fields/ nothing is real/ and nothing to get hung about/ strawberry fields forever. (And I Love Her)- I give her all my love/ that's all I do/ and if you saw my love/ you'd love her too/ i love her. (If I Needed Someone)- If I needed someone to love/ you're the one that I'd be thinking of/ If I needed someone. Yeah I can't just decide on one. So what are your favorite lyrics?

My grandmother was absolutely sure that the Beatles were turning me into a juvenile delinquent. I know she thought that they were the cause of my rebellion. She just didn't understand. If she could hear the music of today she would turn over in her grave. My favorite lyrics are from A Hard Days Night. "It's been a hard days night, and I've been working like a dog. It's been a hard days night, I should be sleeping like a log."

If my grandmother saw the dancing (on stage or off) she's prolly say they were having "air ***." I hope it's ok to say that on here. Didn't mean to be tacky but she'd finish up with "Why do they wear their underwear OVER their clothes." It's called UNDER wear for a reason!I like all John Lennon's songs written by him. Imagine a fave.

i like "Let it be"so much that its lyrics has taught me lots of things about natural life and the principles to get along with other people. Let it be ,speaking words of wisdom,let it be. this phrase has always been my favourite one coz it says wherever and whenever we are Lord will always be there , guiding us to live a hopeful and fulfilling life. and also the other songs such as"in my life" "hey jude" are all great ones...

Let It Be, has the most influence on me. I have always echoed the lyrics...whisper words of wisdom, let it be. If you speak softly and with wisdom, your thought is more likely to get across. Yelling and screaming only makes your throat sore and someone else's ears and heart hurt.

(In my life) - "of all theses friends and lovers/there is no one compares with you/And these memories lose their meaning/When I think of love as something new/Though I know I'll never ever lose affection/For people and things that went before/I know I'll often stop and think about them/In my life I love you more" This song should be sung for every wedding. That way we are reminded that we are choosing the person we love the most even when compared to other person or things.

"the day breaks, your mind aches you find that all the words of kindness linger on when she no longer needs you she wakes up, she makes up she takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry she no longer needs you. "

I also love to hear the songs of the Beatles. Well, my favorite would be "Till There Was You", almost all of the lyrics of the song are great on my personal opinion. Some of the lines goes like this.. There were bells, in a hell, but I never heard it ringing, no I never heard them at all... Till there was you. It is one of my favorite songs.

ok - first its "There were bells, on a hill" - and secondly this is actually a cover song, not written by the Beatles so it wouldn't really be considered a "Beatles Lyric" since they didn't write it. It was taken from The Music Man.
