Line in "A Hard Days Night"

Post by arrow201 »

ok, you Beatle lyric experts out there :)

What's the correct line ?

...
---> So why I love to come home <---
Cause when I get you alone
You know I feel okay

...
--> So why on earth should I moan <---
'Cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok

If you google for the lyrics you'll get both. i used to think it was "So why I love to come home"
....but listening closely, i think i am hearing "So why on earth should I moan" ???

I guess the Northern Songs or Dick James Music or Maclen Music original copyright filing would be the legit version...

My memory says it is the second one...

John made lots of girls moan if you believe all the "satricon" stories...

According to the "1962-1966" album booklet, it says:

"So why on earth should I moan?
'Cos when I get you alone
You know I feel okay"
