Something
The Beatles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

Something in the way she moves
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


Something in her style that shows me
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, now 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

Overall Meaning

The song "Something" by The Beatles is a love song where the narrator describes the inexplicable quality of his love for his woman. He is extremely drawn to her and feels that there is something special in the way she moves and speaks that he cannot explain. He feels that she understands him in a way that no one else can and he has no desire to leave her. The lyrics suggest that there is a certain magic in their relationship, a je ne sais quoi that keeps the narrator attached to his lady.


The song speaks about the intricacies of love in a way that is both profound and relatable. The lyrics suggest that there is something beyond what we can see that draws people to one another. The fact that the narrator is unsure whether his love will grow or not indicates that love is a mysterious process that sometimes cannot be fully understood. He encourages his lady to stick around, knowing that if they spend more time together, the depth of his feelings for her may become more apparent.


Overall, this song is a beautiful ode to love that captures the essence of the way we feel about someone who is special to us. It is a reminder that there is much about love that cannot be rationally explained, and that is part of what makes it so magical.

This song is 50 years old.

Timeless piece of awesomeness

I was 5 years old when this was new. I just love Abbey Road, it has the ability to get me to my happy place. Probably heard the whole album in 1970 and it was unforgettable

I agree

Herbett Tigre Ramos

and still amazing what a band bro.

James swindle

There is no one Beatle. There were 4 of them. Music was becoming stale and colourless. Along came the Beatles and change the whole sound. A vibrant colourful music. Some bands after that stayed with what they knew best. Beatles just kept climbing to high peaks. As for Ringo drumming. No drummer would suit the Beatles like Ringo. Some of his beats are out of this world . There will never be anyone with the talent of the Beatles. I think Kurt Cobine said After the Beatles everyone else was just a tribute band.

One of their last songs but one of their best songs. A true masterpiece. Thank you so much for all the thumbs-up and replies. Love you all!

Such a shame they never gave Harrison much of a chance. He wrote the best songs.

Written for Patti (Boyd), his wife, seen here in the video, but who was seduced away by George’s best friend, Eric Clapton.
