And I Love Her Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The Beatles began recording “And I Love Her” on 25 February, 1964. They recorded two takes that day, with a full electric line-up, but it was evidently not the sound they were after. The second take was later released on Anthology 1.

After George Harrison came up with the now iconic guitar intro, as well as an acoustic guitar solo, for which the song’s key switches from F# minor to G minor, the song was complete, and was subsequently released on 10 July, 1964.

With regards to Harrison’s contribution to the song, McCartney said this, as documented in Barry Miles' book, Many Years From Now:

It still holds up and George played really good guitar on it. It worked very well.

What did The Beatles say about "And I Love Her"?
Genius Answer

“And I Love Her,” I’d written it and I brought in to the studio and I was showing the guys. George Martin, our producer, said “It’d be nice to have a intro on it, you know just have a little something gliding the song in”.

So we’re sitting around thinking and George Harrison just went “what about this: to do do do”, an I think that song wouldn’t be anything without that. He just came up with it.

So, that was the kind of pace we worked at, ‘cause nobody ever knew what song we were about to record. Me and John would know because we were writing it the previous week but George and Ringo and the producer wouldn’t know so we’d shown them and in the space of about 20 minutes they’d go 'OK’ and then we just recorded it.

So it was a very fast process and that was a very cool move, you know, he made up that riff. Let’s say if you think of that song without that riff it wouldn’t be half as good.
