Oh! Darling Lyrics
The Beatles
Lyrics
Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you, ooh
Don't ever leave me alone
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well, you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well, you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
(Believe me, darlin')
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well, you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well, you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never let you down (oh, believe me, darlin')
Believe me when I tell you, ooh
I'll never do you no harm
Song & Lyrics Facts
Oh! Darling is a song composed by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon-McCartney.
It was released as the fourth song on the album Abbey Road in 1969. The song has a bluesy rock and roll style and features McCartney's powerful vocal performance. The working title of the song was Oh! Darling (I'll Never Do You No Harm). The main message of the song is that the singer is pleading with his lover not to leave him, even though he knows she doesn't love him anymore. He tells her that he would never hurt her or make her cry, and that he still loves her deeply. He also warns her that she might regret leaving him someday, and that he will always be there for her if she changes her mind. The song is very emotional and expressive, and it shows how much McCartney cared about his relationship with his wife Linda at the time. He even tried to record his vocals early in the morning to make them sound more raw and strained. The other Beatles also contributed to the song with their backing vocals, guitar, bass and drums.
