THE BEATLES - ASK ME WHY
FOOTAGE

The Beatles - Ask Me Why
The Beatles - Ask Me Why Copyright - 1963 EMI Records Ltd. "Ask Me Why" is a song by The Beatles originally released in the United Kingdom as the B-side of their hit single "Please Please Me" . It was also included on their first UK album, Please Please Me. The song was mainly a John Lennon composition, written in early 1962, but it was credited to Paul McCartney and John Lennon, as were all other Lennon/McCartney originals on the first pressings of Please Please Me album. It was part of their live act prior to their recording contract, and was one of the songs performed at their Parlophone audition in Abbey Road's studio three on 6 June 1962. Complex in arrangement, it emulates the style of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, whom Lennon was influenced by, and the guitar phrase is drawn from the Miracles' "What's So Good About Goodbye" (1961). "Ask Me Why" was recorded on 26 November 1962, the same day they attempted another Lennon and McCartney song called "Tip of My Tongue" which, along with "Ask Me Why" was also being considered for the B-side of the "Please Please Me" single. However, George Martin felt that "Tip of My Tongue" still needed some work, and it was eventually given to Tommy Quickly to record. Other releases Capitol Records, EMI's American counterpart to Parlophone, initially refused to distribute Beatle music in the U.S, and so the "Please Please Me"/"Ask Me Why" single was released by Vee-Jay Records on 25 February 1963. Vee-Jay included "Ask Me Why" on version 2 of Introducing... The Beatles. Capitol eventually released "Ask Me Why" in 1965 on The Early Beatles when Vee-Jay's rights expired. Lyrics: I love you Cause you tell me things I want to know And it's true that it really only goes to show That I know that I, I, I, I, should never never never be blue Now you're mine my happiness dear makes me cry And in time you'll understand the reason why If I cry it's not because I'm sad But you're the only love that I've ever had I can't believe, it's happened to me I can't conceive of anymore misery Ask me why, I'll say I love you And I'm always thinking of you I love you Cause you tell me things I want to know And it's true that it really only goes to show That I know that I, I, I, I, should never never never be blue Ask me why, I'll say I love you And I'm always thinking of you I can't believe, it's happened to me I can't conceive of anymore misery Ask me why, I'll say I love you And I'm always thinking of you, you, you
