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
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
