Easily one of most gorgeous, elegant rock love songs of all time. George Harrison had logged so many years as the songwriting second-banana (or third-banana, really) behind the John/Paul juggernaut that he was practically exploding with pent-up ideas at this point, and this, along with "Here Comes the Sun" (both on "Abbey Road") proved he was not only an underappreciated genius but that he could actually run rings around his bandmates when he was in top form. Frank Sinatra covered this song often, and was known to credit it to "those great songwriters of our time, John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
"Something" by The Beatles
"Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe in how.
Something in her smile she knows,
That I don't need no other lover.
Something in her style that shows me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe in how.
You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know.
Stick around, and it may show,
But I don't know, I don't know.
You know I love that women of mine.
And I need her all of the time.
Know am I telling to you.
That women..that women that make me blue.
Something in the way she knows,
And all I have to do is think of her.
Something in the things she shows me.
I don't want to leave her now.
You know I believe and how.
