Lyrics ▼

It's been a hard day's night,
And I've been working like a dog.
It's been a hard day's night,
I should be sleeping like a log.
But when I get home to you,
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright.
You know I work all day,
To get you money to buy you things.
And it's worth it just to hear you say,
You're gonna give me everything.
So why on earth should I moan,
'Cause when I get you alone,
You know I feel okay.
When I'm home
Everything seems to be right.
When I'm home,
Feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah.
It's been a hard day's night,
And I've been working like a dog.
It's been a hard day's night,
I should be sleeping like a log.
But when I get home to you,
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright.
So why on earth should I moan,
'Cause when I get you alone,
You know I feel okay.
When I'm home
Everything seems to be right.
When I'm home,
Feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah.
It's been a hard day's night,
And I've been working like a dog.
It's been a hard day's night,
I should be sleeping like a log.
But when I get home to you,
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright.

This song begins with John strumming his guitar to a single chord. (Forgive me, but I don’t understand guitar chords, but I believe this may be a G.) I love that one note. You know instantly what song you are about to hear.

John wrote this song with, I think, minimal input from Paul. It gave its name to the Beatles’ first film and to the album on which it features. The name itself came from Ringo. I heard an interview with Paul saying that Ringo had this wonderful knack of saying malapropisms, but whenever he said them, they were always lyrical and beautiful. Apparently, this one came after Ringo was asked how he was and he replied that he was tired, it had been a “hard day’s night.”
