I Saw Her Standing There - Remastered 2009 Lyrics
The Beatles
Lyrics
One, two, three, four
Well, she was just seventeen
If you know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So, how could I dance with another
Oh, when I saw her standin' there
Well, she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Woo, when I saw her standin' there
Well my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Whoa, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now, I'll never dance with another
Woo, when I saw her standin' there
Well, my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now, I'll never dance with another
Ooh, since I saw her standin' there
Whoa, since I saw her standin' there
Yeah well, since I saw her standin' there
