Can't Buy Me Love
The Beatles Lyrics
Can't buy me love
Love
Can't buy me love
I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend
If it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything, my friend
If it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love
I'll give you all I've got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
But what I got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love
No, no, no, no
Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love
Ow
Buy me love
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love
No, no, no, no
Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love
Love
Can't buy me love

According to Songfacts.com this was one of the first Pop songs to start with the chorus rather than a verse. That was producer George Martin's idea.
When pressed by American journalists in 1966 to reveal the song's "true" meaning, McCartney denied that "Can't Buy Me Love" was about prostitution, stating that, although it was open to interpretation, that suggestion was going too far, saying: "The idea behind it was that all these material possessions are all very well, but they won't buy me what I really want.

Lyrics ~
Can't buy me love, oh
Love, oh
Can't buy me love, oh
I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend
If it makes you feel all right
I'll get you anything my friend
If it makes you feel all right
'Cause I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love
I'll give you all I've got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
But what I've got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love, oh
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, oh
No, no, no, no
Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love
Buy me love
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, oh
No, no, no, no
Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love, oh
Love, oh
Buy me love, oh.
The Republic of Sardonica and Cynica.
@Ryan McDonald Firstly, you need to calm down. Believing you’re making stronger, more relevant points simply by using capital letters is absurd.
Secondly, this is how you spell definitely.
Thirdly, I’m a musician too and ex recording studio owner. I’ve also managed bands and promoted and spent endless hours assisting and watching bands and sound engineers setting up. There is simply not enough mics on the drums - what mics there are, are insufficient.
Fourthly, I didn’t say it was different to the recorded version. Often at the time, and since, bands would record versions of songs specifically to mime to – mostly because many songs had fade outs and they’d look ridiculous miming to a faded out song.
Fifthly, there is no way, with the mics being used and the placement of the mics, that the drum sound would be so ‘clean’. That is true als0o of the guitar sounds. Overall, the sound is just too 'clean'.
Sixthly, Lennon, and McCartney are singing far too far away from their mics to get the vocals so pronounced and of such good quality. In every frame of Lennon he’s singing at least two feet away from the mic – there’s no way with the quality of mics back then it’d be able to pick up his vocal. Even today specialist mics are used for vocals and singers have to sing directly into the mics to get a sound the engineer can balance – both recorded and ‘live’.
Seventhly, I can’t see any guitar amps. If they’re plugged directly into a PA system, (I can’t see any speakers), and if so, there’s no way, even good musicians that they were, that they’d be able to play that well without hearing themselves. There are no amps behind them either.
I appreciate your response, enjoy your day.
