473 – The Beatles – I'm looking trough you (1965)

Escrita por Paul McCartney, mas creditada à dupla Lennon/McCartney, foi gravada em 11 de novembro de 1965 e lançada em 3 de dezembro de 1965 no disco Rubber Soul.

Foi escrita pra Jane Asher, a então namorada de Paul por cinco anos. You don't look different, but you have changed. A letra declara a insatisfação de Paul com ela e o relacionamento deles. Fala também da mudança do seu próprio estado emocional: Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight.

Paul cantou e tocou baixo. John fez backing vocals e tocou violão. George Harrison tocou guitarra e Ringo tocou bateria, órgão Hammond, pandeiro, caixa de fósforos e palmas na coxa.

Foi regravada pelos Wallflowers, Roberta Flack, Steve Earle, entre outros.

A letra:

I'm looking through you, where did you go?
I thought I knew you, what did I know?
You don't look different, but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Your lips are moving, I cannot hear
Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear
You don't sound different, I've learned the game
I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight

You're thinking of me, the same old way
You were above me, but not today
The only difference is you're down there
I'm looking through you, and you're nowhere

Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight

I'm looking through you, where did you go
I thought I knew you, what did I know
You don't look different, but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Yeah
Oh baby I'm changed
Ah I'm looking through you
Yeah I'm looking through you
