Escrita por
Paul McCartney mas creditada à dupla Lennon/McCartney, foi gravada
em 7 de abril de 1966 e 17 de junho de 1966. foi lançada em 5 de
agosto de 1966 no disco Revolver. A canção é uma homenagem ao som
da Motown, com seus instrumentos de sopro. Mas a letra já sugere uma
experiencia psicoldélica. É uma ode à erva maldita. Foi lançada como
compacto em 1976, seis anos após o fim dos Beatles e chegou ao
número 6 dos charts pop americanos.
A letra
sugere bem a questão da erva maldita. “I took a ride, I didn't know
what I would find there/Another road where maybe I could see some
other kind of mind there/What can I do? Who can I be? When I'm with
you, I want to stay there/If I am true, Iwill never leave and If I
do, I'll know the way there”.

A letra:
I was alone, I
took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone you knew in time we'd meet again
For I had told you
Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you hear me
Say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life
What can I do, what can I be
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life
I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
Then suddenly I see you
Did I tell you I need you
Every single day?
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone you knew in time we'd meet again
For I had told you
Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you hear me
Say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life
What can I do, what can I be
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life
I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
Then suddenly I see you
Did I tell you I need you
Every single day?
