Please Please Me

PLEASE PLEASE ME
 
 
“Please Please Me”  is a song and the second single released by English rock group the Beatles in the United Kingdom, and the first to be issued in the United States.  It was also the title track of their first LP, which was recorded to capitalise on the success of the single.  It was originally a John Lennon composition (credited to Lennon–McCartney), although its ultimate form was significantly influenced by George Martin.  John Lennon:  “‘Please Please Me’ is my song completely.  It was my attempt at writing a Roy Orbison song, would you believe it?  I wrote it in the bedroom in my house at Menlove Avenue, which was my auntie’s place.”  The single was released in the UK on 11 January 1963 and reached No. 1 on the New Musical Express and Melody Maker charts.  However, it only reached No. 2 on the Record Retailer chart, which subsequently evolved into the UK Singles Chart.  Because of this it was not included on the multi-million selling Beatles compilation, 1.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
You want feelthy leerics? How about this number, “Please Please Me” by the Beatles? This is the “A” side of their third single and the first to make much noise in their home country; it is also the title song on their first album, Please Please Me. To me, this song is easier to figure out than most on the Filthy Fifteen, once you think about the lyrics even a little: The singer is asking his girlfriend to perform oral sex on him, since he is already performing oral sex on her. I have referred to this song previously, but let me just lay it all out for you this time: 
Last night I said these words to my girl I know you never even try, girl C’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon) Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you
 
You don’t need me to show the way, love Why do I always have to say, love C’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon)
Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you
 
I don’t wanna sound complaining But you know there’s always rain in my heart (In my heart) I do all the pleasing with you, it’s so hard to reason With you, whoah yeah, why do you make me blue
 
Last night I said these words to my girl I know you never even try, girl C’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon), c’mon (C’mon) Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you (Me) Whoa yeah, like I please you (Me) Whoa yeah, like I please you
