Something

George Harrison

By John T. Marck

George Harrison got the idea for this song in 1968, after listening to a song by James Taylor, titled, Something In The Way She Moves, and decided to build a song around it. Harrison finished the song, and recorded it in February, April and again in May 1969 during the Abbey Road Sessions. This would come to be the only song by The Beatles that Frank Sinatra would sing. Sinatra called it "the greatest love song ever written," and performed it hundreds of times. Sinatra did however change it slightly to serve his style, changing the middle section to "You stick around, Jack, she might show." Throughout Sinatra's many performances of this song, he always introduced it as the song by Lennon and McCartney, never giving the credit to Harrison. I don't think there was any ill intent, it was just that Sinatra either never bothered finding out the correct information, or didn't care, as Lennon-McCartney carried more weight.

Something in the way she moves, Attracts me like no other lover

Something in the way she woos me, I don't want to leave her now

You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows, That I don't need no other lover

Something in her style that shows me, I don't want to leave her now

You know I believe and how You're asking me will my love grow,

I don't know, I don't know

You stick around and it may show,

I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she knows, And all I have to do is think of her

Something in the things she shows me, I don't want to leave her now

You know I believe and how
