Released during a period when The Beatles were experimenting with their sound and incorporating a broader range of influences, "Another Girl" captures a moment in the band's evolution.

Lyrics
Let's sing along with the lyrics!
For I have got another girl, another girl
You're making me say that I've got nobody but you
But as from today, well, I've got somebody that's new
I ain't no fool and I don't take what I don't want
For I have got another girl, another girl
She's sweeter than all the girls and I met quite a few
Nobody in all the world can do what she can do
And so I'm telling you, "This time you'd better stop"
For I have got another girl, another girl
Who will love me till the end
Through thick and thin
She will always be my friend
I don't want to say that I've been unhappy with you
But, as from today, well, I've seen somebody that's new
I ain't no fool and I don't take what I don't want
For I have got another girl, another girl
Who will love me till the end
Through thick and thin
She will always be my friend
I don't want to say that I've been unhappy with you
But, as from today, well, I've seen somebody that's new
I ain't no fool and I don't take what I don't want
For I have got another girl, another girl
Another girl
