She Said She Said

By John T. Marck

This song was written by Lennon that came about from his paranoid visions while experimenting with LSD. One night at a party with Peter Fonda, while they both were under the influence of acid, Fonda said, "I know what it's like to be dead." That comment, as horrible as it sounds, inspired this song. It was recorded on June 21, 1966.

She said I know what it's like to be dead, I know what it is to be sad,

And she's making me feel like I've never been born

I said who put all the things in your head, Things that make me feel that I'm mad

And you're making me feel like I've never been born

She said you don't understand what I said, I said no, no, no you're wrong

When I was a boy, everything was right, Everything was right

I said even though you know what you know,

I know that I'm ready to leave

'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born

She said you don't understand what I said, I said no, no, no you're wrong

When I was a boy, everything was right, Everything was right,

She said, I know what it's like to be dead, I know what it is to be sad,

I know that it's like to be dead
