About The Song

“Something” is a song by the English rock band The Beatles, written by their lead guitarist George Harrison. It appears on their 1969 album Abbey Road. Along with his second contribution to Abbey Road, “Here Comes the Sun,” “Something” marked Harrison’s ascendancy as a composer to the level of the Beatles’ principal songwriters, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Two weeks after the album’s release, “Something” was issued as a double A-side single with “Come Together,” making it the first Harrison composition to become a Beatles A-side. While often considered a love song to Pattie Boyd, Harrison’s first wife, he offered alternative sources of inspiration in later interviews. The track features a guitar solo that many music critics identify among Harrison’s finest playing. Covered by over 150 artists, it’s the second-most covered Beatles composition after “Yesterday.” Frank Sinatra called it “the greatest love song of the past 50 years”.

Lyrics

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me

I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don’t need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me

Don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You’re asking me will my love grow
I don’t know, I don’t know
You stick around, now it may show
I don’t know, I don’t know

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me

I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
