I Want To Tell You Lyrics

I Want To Tell You
My head is filled with things to say
When you're here
All those words they seem to slip away

When I get near you
The games begin to drag me down
It's all right
I'll make you maybe next time around

But if I seem to act unkind
It's only me, it's not my mind
That is confusing things
I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time

Sometimes I wish I knew you well
Then I could speak my mind and tell
Maybe you'd understand

I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time
I've got time
I've got time

I Want To Tell You Song Chart

George Harrison wrote this. He said it's "About the avalanche of thoughts that are so hard to write down or say or transmit."

This was the first Beatles song where the bass was overdubbed after recording.

The working titles for this song were "Laxton's Supreme" and "I Don't Know." (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

George Harrison later said that if he was to rewrite the bridge section he would have written: "Although I seem to act unkind/It isn't me - it's just my mind. That is confusing things."
