I Should Have Known Better
(Lennon/McCartney)
Originally recorded by: The Beatles

I should have known better with a girl like you 
That I would love everything that you do 
And I do, hey hey hey, and I do 

Whoa, whoa, I 
never realized what I kiss could be 
this could only happen to me 
Can't you see, can't you see 

That when I tell you that I love you, oh 
You're gonna say you love me too, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh 
And when I ask you to be mine 
You're gonna say you love me too 

So, oh I never realized what I kiss could be 
this could only happen to me 
Can't you see, can't you see 

That when I tell you that I love you, oh 
You're gonna say you love me too, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh 
And when I ask you to be mine 
You're gonna say you love me too 

Whoa whoa I never realized what I kiss could be 
this could only happen to me 
Can't you see, can't you see 

That when I tell you that I love you, oh 
You're gonna say you love me too, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh 
And when I ask you to be mine 
You're gonna say you love me too 
You love me too 
you love me too

This song was recorded in 1964 and appeared on the Beatles's "A Hard Days Night" LP with John singing lead.  

The Beatles performed this in their first movie, A Hard Day's Night. It was used in a scene where The Beatles sing it to a group of girls, one of which was played by an actress named Patti Boyd. This was the first time George Harrison met her - he fell for her and married her a few years later. They divorced in 1977, and Patti married Harrison's friend Eric Clapton in 1979. That marriage also ended in divorce, but along the way, Patti inspired some of the most famous songs of all time, including The Beatles' "Something" and Clapton's "Layla."
Lennon played the harmonica solo.

This song has been covered by The Beach Boys, Johnny Rivers and Jan and Dean.

Rick performed this song twice in Milwaukee on 5/4/04 and 5/8/04, along with a harmonica.
