The Beatles (Co.Ver.) 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

The Beatles' "Ticket To Ride" is a song about a girl who is leaving the singer. He is heartbroken, as he thinks that he is going to be sad today because the girl who is driving him crazy is going away. She has a ticket to ride and wants to leave their relationship behind. She doesn't care about his feelings and is excited to start a new chapter in her life. The singer doesn't understand why the girl is so excited to leave him behind and "ride so high" when she should be thinking twice and doing right by him before she says goodbye.


The song's lyrics paint a picture of a man who is left feeling helpless and saddened as he watches the woman he is in love with leave him, yet he can't do anything about it. The line, "She said that living with me is bringing her down yeah, for she would never be free when I was around" shows how the woman feels trapped in the relationship and that she is looking forward to being free once she gets away from the singer. The song also touches on the idea of love not always being reciprocated and how one person can feel more strongly about another, even if the other person doesn't care.

Sensacional maravilhoso

@WretchedNikolai

Jo Blow This was 1965, that means Keith joined the Who about a year prior. He was 18 or 19 at the time.

@69ozz69

Ringo did quite good. Maybe look for praise instead of typical downgrade.

John and Paul making goo goo eyes to each other is so fun to watch. What a treat it is just to watch these two incredible musicians at their peak.

@ronfrievalt3672

They're giggling at each other because they're NOT actually playing the song. Just going thru the motions for this video.😀

@patlaw398

They’re laughing at the audience cs they’re flaunting their use of child prostitutes in Hamburg

@Tom-qx3oq

They, especially John, hated doing these promo films where they faked playing the music. That’s why he’s the lead goof, but they did them like the good lads they were. I thank God they did, because I’m able hold these memories and visuals forever.
