Thank You Girl Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, oh, you've been good to me
You made me glad when I was blue
And eternally I'll always be
In love with you
[Chorus]
And all I've gotta do
Is thank you, girl
Thank you, girl
[Verse 2]
I could tell the world
A thing or two about our love
I know, little girl
Only a fool would doubt our love
[Chorus]
And all I've gotta do
Is thank you, girl
Thank you, girl
[Bridge]
Thank you, girl, for loving me
The way that you do (Way that you do)
That's the kind of love
That is too good to be true
Oh, oh, you've been good to me
You made me glad when I was blue
And eternally I'll always be
In love with you
[Chorus]
And all I've gotta do
Is thank you, girl
Thank you, girl
[Verse 2]
I could tell the world
A thing or two about our love
I know, little girl
Only a fool would doubt our love
[Chorus]
And all I've gotta do
Is thank you, girl
Thank you, girl
[Bridge]
Thank you, girl, for loving me
The way that you do (Way that you do)
That's the kind of love
That is too good to be true
[Chorus]
And all I've gotta do
Is thank you, girl
Thank you, girl
[Verse 1]
Oh, oh, you've been good to me
You made me glad when I was blue
And eternally I'll always be
In love with you
[Chorus]
And all I've gotta do
Is thank you, girl
Thank you, girl
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
And all I've gotta do
Is thank you, girl
Thank you, girl
[Verse 1]
Oh, oh, you've been good to me
You made me glad when I was blue
And eternally I'll always be
In love with you
[Chorus]
And all I've gotta do
Is thank you, girl
Thank you, girl
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
Thank You Girl was written as the follow up to the Please Please Me single, but John didn’t think it worked, so it got made the B side to From Me To You, which the band were a lot happier with.
The song was largely co-written with a leaning towards Paul’s styling.

What did The Beatles say about "Thank You Girl"?
Genius Answer
We knew that if we wrote a song called, ‘Thank You Girl’ that a lot of the girls who wrote us fan letters would take it as a genuine thank you. So a lot of our songs were directly addressed to the fans.
— Paul McCartney, 1988
We’d already written “Thank You Girl” as the follow-up to “Please Please Me.” This new number was to be the B-side. We were so pleased with it, we knew we just had to make it the A-side, “Thank You Girl” the B.
— John Lennon (writer)
