recorded 16 April 1964

It’s been a hard day’s night,
And I’ve been working like a dog,
It’s been a hard day’s night,
I should be sleeping like a log,
But when I get home to you,
I find the things that you do,
Will make me feel alright.

You know I work all day,
To get you money to buy you things,
And it’s worth it just to hear you say,
You’re gonna give me ev’rything,
So why on earth should I moan,
‘Cos when I get you alone,
You know I feel okay.

When I’m home ev’rything seems to be right,
When I’m home feeling you holding me
Tight, tight, yeh.

It’s been a hard day’s night,
And I’ve been working like a dog,
It’s been a hard day’s night,
I should be sleeping like a log,
But when I get home to you,
I find the things that you do,
Will make me feel alright.

You know I work all day,
To get you money to buy you things,
And it’s worth it just to hear you say,
You’re gonna give me ev’rything,

‘Cos when I get you alone,
You know I feel okay.

When I’m home ev’rything seems to be right,
When I’m home feeling you holding me
Tight, tight, yeh.

It’s been a hard day’s night,
And I’ve been working like a dog,
It’s been a hard day’s night,
I should be sleeping like a log,
But when I get home to you,
I find the things that you do,
Will make me feel alright.
