Please Please Me
The Beatles Lyrics

Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl
Come on (come on), come on (come on)
Come on (come on), come on (come on)
Please, please me, whoa yeah, like I please you

You don't need me to show the way, love
Why do I always have to say, love
Come on (come on), come on (come on)
Come on (come on), come on (come on)

Please, please me, whoa yeah, like I please you

I don't want to sound complaining
But you know there's always rain in my heart (in my heart)
I do all the pleasing with you
It's so hard to reason with you
whoa yeah, why do you make me blue?

Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl
Come on (come on), come on (come on)
Come on (come on), come on (come on)
Please, please me, whoa yeah, like I please you
(Please me) whoa yeah, like I please you
(Please me) whoa yeah, like I please you

To comment on specific lyrics, highlight them

According to the Please Please Me Songfacts, the first time the Beatles played this to their producer George Martin, he wasn't very impressed. He recalled to Music Week: "I listened to it and I said: 'Do you know that's too bloody boring for words? It's a dirge. At twice the speed it might sound reasonable.' They took me at my word. I was joking and they came back and played it to me sped up and put a harmonica on it, and it became their first big hit."

You all got it wrong: In Britain there were not two but THREE charts, ran by three different music magazines: NME (New Musical Express), Melody Maker and Record Retailer.
Back in 1963 the NME chart was considered the most important of the three, being the historical one (The first one ever in Britain, launched in 1952) and being the Express undoubtedly the more widely popular magazine out of the three, and Please Please Me was #1 in both the NME and Melody Maker charts (So, that two out of three). Only on the Record Retailer (The less popular of the three music magazines) chart the single stalled at #2. So, for the times, The Beatles, the music critics and insiders and the general public could safely say that the song WAS indeed their first Number One, being championed by the country's two more important and prestigious music magazine of the era.
What happened afterwards was that, by chance, the UK National Chart was retroactively based on the Record Retailer one, being that the only one to have a TOP 50 singles chart since 1960, so to have an aura of completeness (NME only published a Top 30 and Melody Maker a Top 20).
As a result of this, considering the now official UK National Chart, in retrospect Please Please Me can not be counted as a #1 single (And so it was left out of the 1 compilation), but it was indeed considered so for all of the 60s and 70s

Anyone else hear John say I instead of you on the very last verse, and then sort of laugh into his “come on”, and then another drum track come in at 1:47 or so that drags behind a little? Funny how you don’t really hear that in the mono!

Alan

@Utamia PCglitching I think they had to sort out a stereo mix when it was decided to include the song on the Please Please Me album. It had been recorded originally for single release on 26 Nov 1962 but most of the other tracks for the album were recorded on 11 FEb 1963. The stereo and mono mixes may well contain slightly different edits in order to rectify the mistakes on some of the vocals.

I'm in the USA and have been a Beatles fan since I was five or six years old LOL! I am now in my late 50s, I am still as much a fan of theirs today as I was then. I also have strong UK roots, and I've always known a fact about this song that I hope most people here in the USA realize. Although "I want to hold your hand" was their first number one over here in February 1964, "Please please me" had been a UK number one in early 1963 (their first UK number one), and then "She loves you" followed later in 1963. So, they already had two UK number ones and were onto their third (I want to hold your hand) which was simultaneously number one over there and over here. I don't entirely understand the British pop music charts of that time, but somebody might correctly comment that not all British charts regarded "please please me" as a number one. I am going to say, however, that from what I gather it is generally accepted that "please please me" was their first UK number one.

SW2799

42w

@N. GT sorry I haven’t checked back on this in several months. I’m going to leave my comment there as it is but you are right. There was always a dispute between those two British sources about please please me. If I am correct, “ from me to you“ was later in 1963? I actually had never heard from me to you until I was visiting in England in 1976 and heard it on one of my relatives records. It, of course, was on the Beatles 1962-1966 compilation over here, which I bought not Long after coming back from that vacation.

Of all the songs they did in their pre-USA career, I do think she loves you is the best one of those.

The Beatles are perfect because each of their songs are differnt, Here comes the sun, to Yesterday or Twist and Shout to Rock n' roll music.

All written by different people.

No. I see definite similarities between 'Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey' and 'Julia'.

John originally wrote it as a slower song then when George Martin told them they didn’t write anything good enough to record they played it at a faster tempo and the rest is history.

This is the music my grandparents didn't want my parents listening to because the world was wholesome and The Beatles were too filthy and rebellious. The same music I now play for my kids because the world is too filthy and rebellious and The Beatles are brilliant.

What a great track on a tremendous debut album! Decided to go through their whole discography in chronological order and review it for my channel where I do classic album reviews, and am excited to see how their sound changes through time. I know songs of course, but haven't listened to full albums of them before. My favorites would be Please Please Me, Anna (Go To Him), and Twist and Shout. Love the energy throughout the album and the harmonies are so catchy!

Please please me is still one of the Beatles best songs
I first heard this record in a department store in Liverpool and remember being thrilled and awestruck. This music was totally new revolutionary like some wonderful aliens has landed on the planet.
If you look at the charts in England and the United just before The Beatles arrived you will see what a a terrible state was in The Beatles changed popular music globally

After all these years of listening to Beatles Songs, I finally just realized something: the second “Please” in Please Please Me means “satisfy”, so the song actually means “Please Satisfy Me”. I can’t believe I only just got that now. 🤦‍♂️

And hesitate to add, I bet they were cracking up over the double-entendre when they sang, "I'll get you in the end." They were well aware and quite worldly.

Alan Linnebur

Typical Beatles' play on words, exhibited many times by Lennon, but also McCartney throughout their careers. Just another thing that makes them awesome.

The Story of Please Please Me

"Please Please Me" was written mostly by John and given to Lennon-McCartney. The song is was released as the Beatles second single on the A-side having "Ask Me Why" on the B-side. The single was released on the eleventh of January 1963 in the United Kingdom and later released on the twenty-fifth of February 1963 in the United States. The original "Please Please Me" composition is very different than the version we know today. Originally being more of a depressing tune instead of the upbeat song it is remembered as today thanks to Beatles producer, George Martin. The inspiration for "Please Please Me" was John trying to write a Roy Orbinson song but John didn't like it. "Please Please Me" was first brought into the studio on the eleventh of September 1962. The song was not considered to be put on the B-side of "Love Me Do" and was shelved and almost scratched. Until the twenty-sixth of November 1962 when recording for the song continued. There are debates on whether who is playing the drums in the song, Andy White or Ringo Starr. Both claim to have played it but it is unclear whether who is playing them. The song appears on "Please Please Me" LP (1963) and Anthology 1 (1995).

Forgot how good this song is. If you’re a beginner musician - it’s a great idea to try to emulate the Beatles. Always try to be as good as them, but almost certainly you never will be. Great way to spur yourself on to keep practising
