You're Going To Lose That Girl

By John T. Marck

Written mostly by Lennon, with some added help from McCartney, this song is a warning to a guy that if he doesn't treat his girlfriend right, he (John) is going to move in and take her. This song was sort of a part two to "She Loves You." In the film, it is sung in a sequence that is in a recording studio, which actually was Twickenham Studios, on February 19, 1965. The song is cut short (unfortunately) when in the scene, the bad guys after Ringo cut a hole in the floor around his drums from the ceiling of the room below. Too bad the song wasn't complete in the film - it's a great song!

You're gonna lose that girl, (yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)

You're gonna lose that girl, (yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)

If you don't take her out tonight, she's gonna change her mind (she's gonna change her mind)

And I will take her out tonight And I will treat her kind (I'm gonna treat her kind)

You're gonna lose that girl (yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)

You're gonna lose that girl (yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)

If you don't treat her right, my friend, you're gonna find her gone (you're gonna find her gone)

'Cause I will treat her right and then, you'll be the lonely one (you're not the only one)
