  • Every night, I just wanna go out
    Get out of my head
    Every day, I don't wanna get up
    Get out of my bed
    Every night, I want to play out
    And every day I wanna do, ooh, ooh, oh oh
    But tonight, I just want to stay in
    And be with you
    And be with you

    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh

    Every day, I lean on a lamp post
    I'm wasting my time
    Every night, I lay on a pillow
    I'm resting my mind
    Every morning brings a new day
    And every night that day is through, ooh, ooh, oh oh
    But tonight, I just wanna stay in
    And be with you, ooh
    And be with you

    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Believe me, mama
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh Writer/s: Paul McCartney

  • Tim from CaAlways felt he threw in a snippet/sample? of Never Give Me Your Money for the oo oo oo chorus? in the middle there. Depressed? I guess so. But after a long hectic day this song is so relatable and picks me up some! On that note finally got to hear the full Guess I'll Call It Suicide on the McCartney re release too. Always wondered what that little piano thing was after Glasses! Never would have guessed the title, sounds so jaunty!
  • Paula from Laredo, TxIts a great song. The music and the words.
  • David from Youngstown, OhPaul plays all the instruments in this song. To me, it is one of his best. Believe me, momma.
  • Jim from Long Beach, CaWait Paul writing dark sons?, now he is John Lennon??...LOL..Great song.
  • Christy from Palm Springs, CaAfter getting on tbe "Beatle train" if you will (a train that, once you get on you will never get off let me tell you) I began to discover the pure amazingness of Paul's solo work. He is my favorite Beatle to this day (not that I don't adore the others because I do) and this song was one of the first of his that I fell in love with. I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!!!
  • Steve from Salt Lake City, UtFor me, this song is where it all really started for Paul after the break-up. I knew when I heard it that I was going to like him for a long long time, and I did. It is very raw and unrefined like a lot of his early stuff but it is none the less a grerat song
  • Doug from Cambridge, OnYou can hear Paul playing an early version of this song on keyboards during the Let It Be sessions, Jan. '69.
