Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
I'll never do you no harm, no harm
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never let you down
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
The song Oh! Darling, by The Beatles, is a power ballad that speaks about loving someone and the fear of losing them. The singer pleads with their lover not to leave them and explains that they would never intentionally hurt them. It is said that Paul McCartney wrote this song on his own, and although it was mostly his work, John Lennon and George Harrison gave him some ideas and helped him complete it.
The opening line "Oh! Darling, please believe me, I'll never do you no harm" sets the tone for this song, as the singer tries to convince their partner that they are trustworthy and would never hurt them. The lyrics are filled with heart-wrenching emotions as the singer expresses their fear of being alone and how they would never make it without their lover. The lyric "When you told me you didn't need me anymore, well, you know I nearly broke down and cried" expresses the singer's vulnerability and how fragile their relationship is.
This song is often considered one of the best examples of rock and blues music genres. It features a heavy and emotional vocal performance by McCartney that is both gritty and melodic. The track has a traditional blues structure and uses a 12-bar progression. The instrumentation is also worth noting, as it features a prominent piano and guitar that add to the overall emotional atmosphere of the song. Oh! Darling was included in The Beatles' Abbey Road album, and it remains a beloved and timeless classic to this day.

Oh Carol
I am but a fool
Darling I love you
Though you treat me cruel
You hurt me
And you make me cry
But if you leave me
I will surely die
Darling there will never be another
Cause I love you so
Don't ever leave me
Say you'll never go
I will always want you for my
sweet heart
No matter what you do
Oh Carol
I'm so in love with you

Hello amazing fan.
Thank you for your beautiful comment.
I’ve seen a whole lot of “RIP” attached to my name all over the internet. This is the reason I decided to debunk this false new of my demise.
Late Ton Jones was the one who conceived the twist on Romeo and Juliet with composer, John Donald Robb. He died on the 11th of August of cancer in his home in Sharon.
Please disregard all the false publications on the internet.I’m still alive and much healthy.
Thank you beloved fan.
