A Hard Day's Night
The Yesterdays Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel OK

When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight

It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright, ow

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel OK

When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight

It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright




You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright

Overall Meaning

The song "A Hard Day's Night" by The Beatles is a classic song about the daily grind of hard work and the solace found in love. The lyrics describe the exhaustion of a working man, who has been coming home after a long day of work, feeling tired, and stressed. The line "It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog" highlights how difficult the day has been for the singer. He has been working hard, just like a dog, and he is physically and mentally drained. He desires nothing else than to catch some sleep and forget about the hard day.


However, the mood changes drastically when he thinks of his loved one. The line "But when I get home to you I find the things that you do will make me feel alright" suggests that there is someone who makes everything better for him. The singer's girlfriend wife, or significant other is the calming influence on his life. When he is with her, he feels alright despite everything else. The line "And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything" suggests that the singer is working hard to provide for his loved one, and in turn, his partner appreciates that he is working hard for their future. The singer knows that his hard work will bear fruit, and he will be rewarded by his partner's love and support.


The chorus of the song has a catchy tune that repeats the lines "It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog" and "when I get home to you I find the things that you do will make me feel alright." The music and the lyrics perfectly complement each other and are designed to be hummed or sung along. The song is a classic so much so that the phrase "A Hard Day's Night" has become a popular idiom for a day that has been particularly challenging.
