When I Get Home

By John T. Marck

By Lennon, this is one of his more optimistic songs. It describes what he is going to do and say to his girl, when he gets home. Actually, it describes that his true love is waiting for him at home. In spite of other images of Lennon, he was quite the homebody, loving to sit on the floor or his bed and watch television and read books and magazines. This was further confirmed in his marriage to Yoko and his assumed role as the "house husband" at their Dakota apartment in New York.

Whoa I, whoa I,

I got a whole lot of things to tell her, When I get home

Come on, I'm on my way, 'Cause I'm a gonna see my baby today

I've got a whole lot of things I gotta say, to her

whoa I, whoa I,

I got a whole lot of things to tell her, when I get home

Come on, if you please, I got no time for trivialities

I've got a girl who's waiting home for me, tonight

whoa I,  whoa, I,

I got a whole lot of things to tell her,  when I get home

when I'm getting home tonight, I'm gonna hold her tight

I'm gonna love her till the cows come home,

I bet I'll love her more, till I walk out that door, again

Come on, let me through, I got so many things I gotta do

I got no business being here with you, this way

whoa I, whoa, I,

I got a whole lot of things to tell her, When I get home, yeah

I've got a whole lot of things to tell her, When I get home
