When I Get Home Lyrics
[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison, John Lennon]
Woah-I, woah-I
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home
[Verse 1: John Lennon]
Come on, out my way
'Cause I'm-a gonna see my baby today
I got a whole lot of things I gotta say
To her
[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison, John Lennon]
Woah-I, woah-I
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home
[Verse 2: John Lennon]
Come on, if you please
I got no time for triviality
I got a girl who's waiting home for me
Tonight
[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison, John Lennon]
Woah-I, woah-I
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home
Woah-I, woah-I
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home
[Verse 1: John Lennon]
Come on, out my way
'Cause I'm-a gonna see my baby today
I got a whole lot of things I gotta say
To her
[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison, John Lennon]
Woah-I, woah-I
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home
[Verse 2: John Lennon]
Come on, if you please
I got no time for triviality
I got a girl who's waiting home for me
Tonight
[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison, John Lennon]
Woah-I, woah-I
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home
[Bridge: John Lennon & Paul McCartney, John Lennon]
When I get in home tonight
I'm gonna hold her tight
I'm gonna love her till the cows come home
And then I'll love her more
Till I walk out that door
Again
[Verse 3: John Lennon]
Come on, let me through
I got so many things I gotta do
I got no business being here with you
This way
[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
Woah-I, woah-I
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home, yeah
[Outro: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home
When I get in home tonight
I'm gonna hold her tight
I'm gonna love her till the cows come home
And then I'll love her more
Till I walk out that door
Again
[Verse 3: John Lennon]
Come on, let me through
I got so many things I gotta do
I got no business being here with you
This way
[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
Woah-I, woah-I
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home, yeah
[Outro: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home
