Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
The Beatles' song "Something" is widely regarded as one of the band's greatest love songs. Written by George Harrison and released in 1969, it perfectly captures the confused emotions of falling head over heels for someone. The song has a simple structure, with just three verses, but its lyrics and melody have resonated with fans for decades.
The opening lines, "Something in the way she moves/Attracts me like no other lover," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is drawn to this person in a way that goes beyond physical attraction. There's something about her that is captivating and alluring. The second verse further emphasizes this by stating, "Somewhere in her smile she knows/That I don't need no other lover/Something in her style that shows me." The woman in question is self-assured and confident, and these qualities only serve to make her more attractive in the singer’s eyes.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant: "You're asking me will my love grow/I don't know, I don't know/You stick around and it may show/I don't know, I don't know." This speaks to the uncertainty of love - the fact that the singer can't predict whether his feelings for this woman will deepen and endure over time. But he is willing to take that risk and find out.
In a nutshell, "Something" is a song that celebrates the thrill of falling in love, with all its joy and uncertainty. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of The Beatles' music that this song continues to resonate with listeners all around the world more than 50 years after its release.

This video is actually pretty sad when you come to realise that at the point of filming this, the Beatles had grown so far apart that they decided to film their own parts at their own homes rather than come together and record it as a group. The video was also shot when McCartney fell into a deep depression over realising that the Beatles were over, and you can really see it in his untidy appearence
@donbovie
Nothing to be sad. As times goes by.
@kibby1234
As George said " all things must pass". I choose to look at this as the Beatles simply moving on and the people they're moving on with. There's no doubt that each are happy with the company of their partners at this time. So why be sad
