The Beatlesā Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
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 going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
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'll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright, oww!
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok
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 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'll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright
The lyrics of The Beatles' song "A Hard Day's Night" reflect the exhaustion and hard work of the singer (assumed to be one of the band members). The repetition of "It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog" emphasizes the physical exhaustion the singer feels after a long day of work. However, the song takes a positive turn when the singer thinks about coming home to their significant other. They find solace in the things that their partner does and feel reassured that everything will be alright. The lyrics also reflect the singer's hard work being worth it if it means providing for their loved one and receiving their affection in return.
The song features a unique opening chord that has puzzled musicologists and guitar players for years. This famous opening chord, which has been referred to as "the most legendary chord in the history of rock and roll," is actually a combination of four different chords played by four Beatles members at the same time. "A Hard Day's Night" was the title track for both the movie and album of the same name, released in 1964. The song stayed at number one for two weeks in the US, and it was also the title of the band's first film.
