Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woman
I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all, I´m forever in your debt
And woman
I will try to express
For showing me the meaning of success
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Woman
I know you understand
The little child inside the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman
Hold me close to your heart
However distant, don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Well, woman
Please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah

We lost John 43 years ago today, it's still hard to believe, I remember that day well. I love this song and I listen to it every October 9 and December 8. God bless you, John, wherever you are, we still miss you.

Gotta be the most senseless murder of the 21st century. Why in the world would anyone wanna kill a Beatle? Even the guy attacking Harrison didn't make any sense. They were all about peace and love, but tragedies happen to them. Luckily George survived his and stayed with us for a little longer.
