This happened once before
When I came to your door
No reply
They said it wasn't you
But I saw you peep through
Your window
I saw the light
I saw the light
I know that you saw me
'Cause I looked up to see
Your face

I tried to telephone
They said you were not home
That's a lie
'Cause I know where you've been
And I saw you walk in
Your door
I nearly died
I nearly died
'Cause you walked hand in hand
With another man
In my place

If I were you, I'd realize that I
Love you more than any other guy
And I'll forgive the lies that I
Heard before, when you gave me no reply

I tried to telephone
They said you were not home
That's a lie
'Cause I know where you've been
And I saw you walk in
Your door
I nearly died
I nearly died
'Cause you walked hand in hand
With another man
In my place

    General Comment:I agree with thehappysong. When I was younger, I listened to the vocals but not really the lyric. Now I see similarities with 'Every Breath You Take' by the Police.

    General Comment:John Lennon said that this is his first "polished" song ever! Its inspiration? A silhouette of a woman, of course! Lol.

    General Comment:I think this song was written, and was recorded as a demo for the purpose of giving it to another band (the name escapes me). John sang that version with a more staccato voice to match with the other band's style. In the other takes where they screw up and giggle, they were screwing up the lyrics, singing things like, "And I saw you walk in, your face..." Hilarious, boys.

    General Comment:Lennon is one of the few artists who sings with such sincerity and intensity that one almost believes him when he shouts "I nearly died!"
