The Beatles - Ask Me Why
Copyright - 1963 EMI Records Ltd.
"Ask Me Why" is a song by The Beatles originally released in the United Kingdom as the B-side of their hit single "Please Please Me" . It was also included on their first UK album, Please Please Me.
The song was mainly a John Lennon composition, written in early 1962, but it was credited to Paul McCartney and John Lennon, as were all other Lennon/McCartney originals on the first pressings of Please Please Me album. It was part of their live act prior to their recording contract, and was one of the songs performed at their Parlophone audition in Abbey Road's studio three on 6 June 1962. Complex in arrangement, it emulates the style of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, whom Lennon was influenced by, and the guitar phrase is drawn from the Miracles' "What's So Good About Goodbye" (1961).
"Ask Me Why" was recorded on 26 November 1962, the same day they attempted another Lennon and McCartney song called "Tip of My Tongue" which, along with "Ask Me Why" was also being considered for the B-side of the "Please Please Me" single. However, George Martin felt that "Tip of My Tongue" still needed some work, and it was eventually given to Tommy Quickly to record.
Other releases
Capitol Records, EMI's American counterpart to Parlophone, initially refused to distribute Beatle music in the U.S, and so the "Please Please Me"/"Ask Me Why" single was released by Vee-Jay Records on 25 February 1963.
Vee-Jay included "Ask Me Why" on version 2 of Introducing... The Beatles.
Capitol eventually released "Ask Me Why" in 1965 on The Early Beatles when Vee-Jay's rights expired.
Lyrics:
I love you
Cause 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,
should never never never be blue
Now you're mine
my happiness dear makes me cry
And in time
you'll understand the reason why
If I cry it's not because I'm sad
But you're the only love that I've ever had
I can't believe, it's happened to me
I can't conceive of anymore misery
Ask me why, I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you
I love you
Cause 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,
should never never never be blue
Ask me why, I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you
I can't believe, it's happened to me
I can't conceive of anymore misery
Ask me why, I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you, you, you

Tell a friend:
I mean, it seems to have been written when one found the other, and new it was love, together, for all time
Martin had a problem with Pete Best,[40] whom he criticised for not being able to keep time. Martin privately suggested to Epstein that the band use another drummer in the studio. There was speculation by some that Best's popularity with fans was another source of friction.
