A Hard Day's Night
YESTERDAY 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, written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon-McCartney, was released as the title track of The Beatles' third studio album in 1964, as well as the opening song of their first feature film of the same name. The song's lyrics are relatively simple yet effective, as they describe a hard day's work and the joy of returning to one's loved one at the end of the day.


The opening line "It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog" sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it describes the exhausting and demanding nature of the singer's job. The reference to working "like a dog" emphasizes the physical and emotional strain of the labor involved. However, the singer finds solace in the love of their partner, as evidenced in the lines "But when I get home to you I find the things that you do will make me feel alright." The song thus becomes a testament to the power of love to provide comfort and hope even in the face of extreme exhaustion.


The repeated refrain of "You know I feel alright" reinforces the message of the song, as it suggests that the hardships of the day are temporary and that the love shared between the singer and their partner is a constant source of comfort and joy. Despite its simplicity, A Hard Day's Night remains a beloved classic and a testament to The Beatles' enduring influence on popular music.
