I Want You (She's So Heavy) Lyrics
I want you
I want you so bad
I want you
I want you so bad
It's driving me mad
It's driving me mad

I want you
I want you so bad, babe
I want you
I want you so bad
It's driving me mad
It's driving me mad

I want you
I want you so bad
I want you
I want you so bad
It's driving me mad
It's driving me mad

I want you
I want you so bad, babe

She's so heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy

I want you
I want you so bad
I want you
I want you so bad
It's driving me mad
It's driving me mad

I want you
I want you so bad, babe
I want you
You know I want you so bad
It's driving me mad
It's driving me mad

Yeah, she's so heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy

Does anyone else think that it is a little more than coincidental that the songs "She's so Heavy" and "Carry that Weight" are on the same album? Any thoughts on who they are referring to?

possible emotional baggage?

references to drugs maybe, or perhaps this is too shallow of a note for the beatles? "heavy" was slang for someone way burnt out on ganja or other drugs.

I believe it actually refers to Yoko, who was pregnant at the time (she later miscarried).

Too heavy. Too insipid. Cool guitar.

You can analyze this song all you want but it's only a love song written by John to Yoko. Yep, John has admitted before about composing a perfect song using only one word (Yoko wrote a poem that consisted of one word, 'Water'). Even though there's a little more than one word, John still delivers his feelings. As one author has put it "... this is a musical tryst with a succubus. No wonder the lyric consists of the same phrase over and over again. Lennon is literally obsessed.

BeatleAnt has got it right. :) But weezerific:cutlery, emotional baggage, legal baggage, and just about every other form of baggage were a big part of Abbey Road (which "I Want You" is on for those of you who don't know.). Is John's voice on this track incredibly sexy, or is it just me?

Has anyone seen the movie "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"? It stars Peter Frampton and the BeeGees, and there is no talking in the movie- only Beatles songs. Every Beatles fan should see it. But anyways... this song is in it, and yes, it is an incredibly sexy song... good times ;)

I always figured that the line "She's So Heavy" refers to Yoko being "heavy" on a creative(!?) level.

don't forget that steve tyler, joe perry, brad whitford, tom hamilton, and joey kramer are in sgt. peppers too :) that's why their band did the Come Together cover.

i really like this. it really does sound like an obsession, just thinking of the same beautiful great things over and over. that's with the different themes going around and around in the song, and then for like 2 minutes till the end, it just gets all heavy and.....heavy i guess is the word.

the lyrics to this song are actually quite clever. This song is about obsession - that constant want or desire that keeps weighing so "heavily" on one's thoughts. Who he wrote the song about is hardly even the point, although it is nice to know what was going through his head.
The simplicity of the lyrics really drive the message home. The song isn't reflective on the obsession, nor does it really bother with symbolism or rhyme. The lyrics are repetitive and thoughtless, just like any obsession. Obsessions are blinding, they force us to see the surface and prevent us from seeing the big picture, thus the lack of symbolism and thought to the lyrics. The words are as repetitive as the obsession that runs through his head. The thoughtlessness and simplicity to the lyrics of this song is exactly the point of the song. So before anybody thinks any less of the beatles for writing "brainless, thoughtless" lyrics, think about how brainless and thoughtless humans can truly be when blinded by an obsession. Whether or not the obsession is good or bad, its all blinding and instinctive in the end.

I think this song was just a way to pour out raw emotions about someone. Kinda the uncivilized part of everyone coming through on it. The wind or what ever that is at the end goes on for too long tho.

One of Lennon's "lazy-tired of Beatles" songs. However, still great tune. Even with lazy, mudane lyrics like this, they still pull it off.

heavy for the beatles is like kids nowadays sayin tight or cool or whatever it is you little brats say. george used it alot more than the other guys cause he was always cooler then them. when they met elvis presley, he didnt give two shits and just wanted to buy some grass off someone in elvis' entorage. HEAVY.

i love this song. does anyone else find it.. sort of creepy in a good way... it gives me shivers when i listen to it. Something about how simple the lyrics are, repeated over and over, over and over. There's the light part: 'i want you', then the harder guitar part 'she's so heavy'. It makes sense it being about obsession. The part that's almost creepy to me is the last part, with no words, just the guitar for minutes and minutes. Somehow they're able to sustain it, and you don't notice at first, but slowly this white noise gets louder and louder until it's louder than the guitar - it reminds me of static on a cassette or video tape - sort of like on 'The Ring'-but they didn't have either of those things when the song was written. The tension is building, and you think it will go on forever, and then suddenly - right in the middle of a guitar phrase - it just stops - and immediately goes on to the next song. That's what creeps me out - it's like they didn't mean to stop, and someone just pulled the plug from their guitars and shut off the lights. Maybe the end part means nothing and it was just them having a good time, but still, it's really cool.

Oh, this is where Coldplay stole that riff.!

This is probably the first song with two different tempos intertwined – way before FF’s Take Me Out
