Ask Me Why Lyrics

Ask Me Why
(Lennon/McCartney)
Intro:
(this little lick also used over some E chords during verses)
Verse:
I love you 'cos you tell me things I want to know
And it's true that it really only goes to show that I know
That I I I I would never ever ever be blue
Now you're mine my happiness near makes me cry
And in time you'll understand the reason why that I cry
It's not because I'm sad
But you're the only love that I've ever had
Middle:
I can't believe it's happened to me
I can't conceive of any more misery
Verse:
Ask me why I'll say I love you (second time jump to ending)
And I'm always thinking of you
(now repeat from the middle)
Ending:
And I'm always thinking of you you
you
