The Beatles- Something



Something in the way she moves
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 now, 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

I love this song. It has beautiful lyrics and we get to hear George Harrison sing as well. But it also has an element of realism in it - marked by the element of uncertainty even anxiety in the 3rd stanza. Most of the Beatles songs are gushy, exuberant stuff - but this one reflects the ambiguity that adults sometimes feel in a relationship.
