WHEN I GET HOME
(Lennon-McCartney)
1964


When John Lennon was asked what song he wished he could have written, his 
immediate reply was Marvin Gaye's 12 bar "Can I Get A Witness".  "When I Get 
Home" was John's attempt to write a similar style of song.



Wo I, wo I, I got a whole lot of things to tell her when I get home
Come on out my way 'cause I'm a-gonna see my baby today
I got a whole lot of things a gotta say to her



Wo I, wo I, I got a whole lot of things to tell her when I get home
Come on if you please I got no time for triviality
I got a girl who's waiting home for tonight



Wo I, wo I, I got a whole lot of things to tell her when I get home
When I getting home tonight I'm gonna hold her tight
I'm gonna love her 'til the cows come home
I mean I love her more 'til I walk out that door again



Come on let me through I got so many things I gotta do
I got no business being here with you this way
Wo I, wo I, I got a whole lot of things to tell her when I get home
I got a whole lot of things to tell her when I get home
