I'll Get You - Beatles, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

I'll Get You (Beatles, The, 1964). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2025-06-01. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"

"I'll Get You," written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, was released in the USA as the "B" side of the "She Loves You" single, which landed at the no. 1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1964 (Whitburn, 2013). "The song was recorded in stereo, but that version has been lost. This remains one of 4 Beatles tracks that exist only in mono" (songfacts, 2025). "As with ‘She Loves You’, ‘I’ll Get You’ was full of ‘yeah’s; The Beatles’ use of the word in the songs earned them the nickname The Yeah-Yeahs throughout Europe" (beatlesbible, 2023). Although Lennon wrote the majority of the song, McCartney helped with the bridge (songfacts, 2025). According to McCartney, The song's "got an interesting chord in it: ‘It’s not easy to pre-tend…’ That was nicked from a song called ‘All My Trials’ which is on an album I had by Joan Baez . . . It’s like D, which goes to an A minor, which is unusual, you’d normally go from a D to an A major. It’s a change that had always fascinated me" (B. Miles, Many Years From Now, 1997).

Lyrics:

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Imagine I'm in love with you
It's easy 'cause I know
I've imagined I'm in love with you
Many, many, many times before

It's not like me to pretend
But I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Yes, I will, I'll get you in the end
Oh yeah, oh yeah

I think about you night and day
I need you and it's true
When I think about you, I can say
I'm never, never, never, never blue

So I'm telling you, my friend
That I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Yes, I will, I'll get you in the end
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Well, there's gonna be a time
When I'm gonna change your mind
So you might as well resign yourself to me
Oh, yeah

Imagine I'm in love with you
It's easy 'cause I know
I've imagined I'm in love with you
Many, many, many times before

It's not like me to pretend
But I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Yes, I will, I'll get you in the end
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Whoa, yeah
