Ticket To Ride
The Beatles蠀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away

She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care

She said that living with me
Is bringing her down yeah
For she would never be free
When I was around

She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care

I don't know why she's ridin' so high
She ought to think twice
She ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me
I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today yeah
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away, yeah

She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care

I don't know why she's ridin' so high
She ought to think twice
She ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me
She said that living with me
Is bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free
When I was around

Ah, she's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care

My baby don't care, my baby don't care




My baby don't care, my baby don't care
My baby don't care, my baby don't care

Overall Meaning

In this song, The Beatles sing about a girl who is driving the singer mad, but she has a ticket to ride and is leaving him behind. The singer is confused and sad because he doesn't understand why she is leaving and why she doesn't seem to care about the relationship they had. He wonders why she is "riding so high" and questions whether she has thought twice about leaving him.


The lyrics reflect the angst and uncertainty of young love and relationships. The singer is unable to comprehend why the girl he loves is leaving him and why she doesn't seem to care about his feelings. He feels like he is being punished for something that he doesn't understand.
