How does this work?
Caution: You are now annotating this song as
I get high when I see you go by
My oh my
When you sigh, my, my inside just flies
Butterflies
Why am I so shy when I'm beside you?

[Hook]
It's only love and that is all
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all
But it's so hard loving you

Is it right that you and I should fight
Every night?
Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright
Very bright
Haven't I the right to make it up girl?

[Hook]

Yes it's so hard loving you, loving you

About It's Only Love

The Beatles recorded It’s Only Love during an afternoon session on 15 June 1965. It took six takes to get right, though only four of those were complete.

Lennon double-tracked his vocals onto take six, and five guitars were recorded: two acoustic, including a 12-string; and three electric guitars, with a tremolo effect applied to Harrison’s 12-string Rickenbacker.

Take two of It’s Only Love was included on Anthology 2 in 1996, along with the aborted take three from the session. Interestingly, Ringo Starr’s drum part on take two was very similar to that later heard on another Lennon song, Rubber Soul’s In My Life.
