A Hard Day's Night

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel all right

You know I work all day
To get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say
You're gonna give me everything

So why on earth should I moan
'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel okay

When I'm home
everything seems to be right
when I'm home
feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel all right,

When I'm home
Everything seems to be right
when I'm home
feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel all right




You know I feel all right
You know I feel all right

Overall Meaning

"A Hard Day's Night" is a song by the Beatles that was released in 1964, and it became the title track of the hit movie of the same year. The opening guitar riff is one of the most recognizable in rock history, and the song is notable for its catchy melody, straightforward lyrics, and driving rhythm. The song is about the stresses of a long workday and the relief of being able to come home to a loved one for comfort.


The lyrics describe the singer's exhaustion after a long day at work, as he's "been working like a dog" and "should be sleeping like a log." However, when he comes home to his partner, everything feels right, and he feels better. He notes that he works hard all day to provide for his partner, and the knowledge that he's able to do so and hear her say that she'll give him everything makes his long day worth it. The singer ultimately feels all right when he's with his partner and knows that she supports him.


The song's melody and lyrics combine to create a relatable picture of the struggle of balancing work and personal life, and the relief that can come from being in a supportive partnership. The song's driving guitar riff and energetic rhythm also make it a classic rock and roll tune that still holds up today.
