I’ll Get You Lyrics
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 1]
Imagine I'm in love with you
It's easy 'cause I know
I've imagined I'm in love with you
Many, many, many times before
[Chorus]
It's not like me to pretend
But I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Yes I will, I'll get you in the end, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
I think about you night and day
I need you and it's true
When I think about you, I can say
I'm never, never, never, never blue
[Chorus]
So I'm telling you, my friend
That I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Yes I will, I'll get you in the end, oh yeah, oh yeah
Well, there's gonna be a time
When I'm gonna change your mind (When I'm gonna make you mine)
So you might as well resign yourself to me, oh yeah
[Verse 1]
Imagine I'm in love with you
It's easy 'cause I know
I've imagined I'm in love with you
Many, many, many times before
[Chorus]
It's not like me to pretend
But I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Yes I will, I'll get you in the end, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Woah yeah
About
The b-side to She Loves You, this song is almost ironic in its levels of twee, Beatlemania-pandering pop sensibility.
Indeed, the band later made jokes out of the fact that they used “oh yeah!” so much in their early songs.

Paul McCartney (Writer, Singer)
It’s got an interesting chord in it: ‘It’s not easy to pretend…’ That was nicked from a song called “All My Trials” which is on an album I had by Joan Baez: ‘There’s only one thing that money can’t buy.’ It’s like D, which goes to an A minor, which is unusual, you’d normally go from a D to an A major. It’s a change that had always fascinated me, so I put it in. I liked that slightly faggy way we sang. ‘Oh yeah, oh yeah,’ which was very distinctive, very Beatley."
