Got To Get You Into My Life

By John T. Marck

When Paul wrote Got To Get You Into My Life, his idea was to incorporate the brassy Motown sound. With this song, and the others on Revolver, The Beatles proved again that they could record any type of musical genre they desired. McCartney deliberately limited the brass sound to create a faintly unreal sound. A great song, recorded on April 8 and 9, May 18 and June 17, 1966. The songs meaning referred to the use of acid, in that Paul was the last to try it. The LSD was that which he had to get into his life.

I was alone, I took a ride, I didn't know what I would find there

another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

ooo,

then I suddenly see you, ooo, did I tell you I need you, every single day of my life

you didn't run, you didn't lie, you know I wanted just to hold you

and had you gone, you knew in time, we'd meet again for I had told you

ooo,

you were meant to be near me,

ooo,

and I want you to hear me say we'll be together every day,

got to get you into my life,  what can I do, what can I be,

when I'm with you I want to stay there

if I'm true I'll never leave, and if I do I know the way there,

ooo,

then I suddenly see you, ooo, did I tell you I need you

every single day of my life, got to get you into my life,

I was alone, I took a ride, I didn't know what I would find there

another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

ooo,

then I suddenly see you,

ooo,

did I tell you I need you,

every single day
