Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've been workin' like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleepin' like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
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 workin' like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleepin' like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright, ow
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
Oh, it's been a hard day's night
And I've been workin' like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleepin' like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright
The song "A Hard Day's Night" is a euphoric tune that was written by John Lennon and performed by The Beatles in 1964. The song is all about a man who is feeling drained after a long day of work, but when he gets home to his significant other, all of his weariness dissipates. The song's opening lines, "It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog," create an immediate connection with listeners who can relate to the feeling of being exhausted after working hard.
The song's bridge highlights the woman's importance in the singer's life. He notes that he works all day to make her happy, but her affection and attention is all he needs to feel content. Interestingly, the line "But when I get you alone, you know I feel okay" suggests that the couple may face some difficulties in their relationship when they are in public or surrounded by others. However, when they are alone together, everything feels right.
Overall, the song details the ups and downs of everyday life, from the weariness of hard work to the joy of being in love. It's a message that resonates with people of all ages, making it one of The Beatles' most iconic tunes.
