This week, Jim has sent me back to my roots in terms of both time and place with his prompts for Song Lyric Sunday.
Although this is formally attributed to Lennon & McCartney, this is John’s work and was originally on the soundtrack of ‘Help!’, released in 1965
Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she’s gone I can’t go on
Feeling two-foot small
Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say
Hey you’ve got to hide your love away
Hey you’ve got to hide your love away
How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I’m in
How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say
Hey you’ve got to hide your love away
Hey you’ve got to hide your love away
Written by John Lennon
I never saw Help, I will have to check it out some day.
Love love love this song !!!!
You can feel the pain in his voice on this one.
One of my favorites!
