Paul McCartney Got It Right

I’m sad to hear you’re feeling so depressed

It’s hard to be alone, adrift out on the ocean

But I have to ask you, “Why?”

What makes you think I’d want to buy

Another album’s worth of overwrought emotion?

CHORUS

Paul McCartney got it right

There’s nothing wrong with singing silly love songs

There’s nothing wrong, there’s nothing trite about

Na na na na na na na

Paul McCartney got it right

I’ve had my share of needing happiness

Sometimes a sad old song can lift me through tomorrow

But I guess the truth be told

I realize I’m just too old

To care about some minor singer’s major sorrows

CHORUS

….Paul McCartney got it right

Give me just a little less introspection

Maybe just a little less wah wah wah

Take another listen to your record collection

Give me just a little more, a little more yeah yeah yeah

Paul McCartney got it right…

Paul McCartney got it right…
