Recorded
February 26 1964.
Available
on:
A
Hard Days Night
The Beatles,
particularly Lennon and Harrison, had by February 1964 taken
a keen interest in Bob Dylan, who had just released the
record The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. Those who pay attention
to the way Lennon plays the harmonica on I Should Have Known
Better will notice a big difference compared with the harmonica
on Love Me
Do, for example. Lennon’s new style of playing
– the way he blows in and out – was similar to
Dylan's way of playing the instrument.
It took
22 takes before the Beatles were satisfied with I Should
Have Known Better, allegedly because Lennon couldn’t
stop laughing.
I Should
Have Known Better was released on the B-side of the single
A Hard
Day’s Night, which was a number 1 hit in the US
and in the UK.
I Should Have Known Better
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
I should
have known better with a girl like you
That I would love everything that you do
And I do, hey hey hey, and I do
Whoa,
whoa, I
never realized what I kiss could be
this could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see
That when
I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too
So, oh
I never realized what I kiss could be
this could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see
That when
I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too
Whoa whoa
I never realized what I kiss could be
this could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see
That when
I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too
You love me too
you love me too
