Ask Me Why

By John T. Marck

Written primarily by Lennon, this love relationship song was one of his first. Written in a different manner than McCartney's, this song has a difficult rhythm, and was inspired by his love of Smokey Robinson and his types of songs, from a composition standpoint. George Martin felt that it was not a strong enough song to warrant an A-side of a single, but is was released as the B-side to their second single in the United Kingdom, and the first single in the United States.

I love you, cause you tell me things I want to know

And it's true, that it really only goes to show

That I know, that I, I, I, I, should never never never be blue

Now you're mine, my happiness dear makes me cry

And in time, you'll understand the reason why

If I cry, it's not because I'm sad, but you're the only love that I've ever had

I can't believe, it's happened to me, I can't conceive, of anymore, misery

Ask me why, I'll say I love you, and I'm always thinking of you

I love you, cause you tell me things I want to know

And it's true, that it really only goes to show

That I know, that I, I, I, I, should never never never be blue

Ask me why, I'll say I love you, and I'm always thinking of you

I can't believe, it's happened to me, I can't conceive, of anymore, misery

Ask me why, I'll say I love you, and I'm always thinking of you, you, you
