I WAS ALONE, I TOOK A RIDE,

ANOTHER ROAD, WHERE MAYBE I
COULD SEE ANOTHER KIND OF MIND THERE.
OOH, THEN I SUDDENLY SEE YOU.
OOH, DID I TELL YOU I NEED YOU
EV´RY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE?
YOU DIDN'T RUN, YOU DIDN'T LIE,
YOU KNEW I WANTED JUST TO HOLD YOU.
AND HAD YOU GONE YOU KNEW IN TIME
WE'D MEET AGAIN FOR I HAVE TOLD YOU.
OOH, YOU WERE MEANT TO BE NEAR ME.
OOH, AND I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME
SAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER EV´RY DAY.
GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE, YEAH!
WHAT CAN I DO, WHAT CAN I BE,
WHEN I'M WITH YOU I WANT TO STAY THERE.
AND IF I'M TRUE I´LL NEVER LEAVE
AND IF I DO I KNOW THE WAY THERE.
OOH, YOU WERE MEANT TO BE NEAR ME,
OOH, AND I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME,
SAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER EV´RY DAY.
GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE, OH YEAH!
WELL, I GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE, YEAH! YEAH!
I WAS ALONE, I TOOK A RIDE,
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD FIND THERE.
ANOTHER ROAD, WHERE MAYBE I
COULD SEE ANOTHER KIND OF MIND THERE.
WELL, THEN SUDDENLY I SEE YOU.
DID I TELL YOU I NEED YOU
GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE, OH YEAH!

PRIVATE PROPERTY
By Paul McCartney
As recorded by Ringo Starr
PRIVATE PROPERTY,
DON'T RUN OFF WITH IT,
YOU'LL BE BREAKING THE LAW.
LOVE MONOPOLY,
MY PHILOSOPHY,
DON'T GO FOOLING WITH PRIVATE PROPERTY.
'CAUSE SHE'S MINE, SHE BELONGS TO ME,
AND WE'LL GET ON FINE AS LONG AS YOU AGREE
THAT SHE'S MINE PRIVATE PROPERTY,
PRIVATE PROPERTY.
PRIVATE PROPERTY,
DON'T RUN AFTER IT,
YOU'LL BE FACING A CHARGE.
HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE,
YOU GET OFF THE FENCE,
DON'T GO FOOLING WITH PRIVATE PROPERTY.
IT'S KNOWN WHEN WE'RE IN A CROWD,
THAT THERE'S GONNA BE NO TRESPASSING ALLOWED.
'CAUSE SHE'S MINE PRIVATE PROPERTY,
PRIVATE PROPERTY.
HOW CAN I DISAGREE?
SHE INSISTS THAT IT'S ALL FOR ME.
