Beatles, The - I'm Down Lyrics






You telling lies thinking I can't see
You don't cry cos you're laughing at me
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down

Man buys ring woman throws it away
Same old thing happens everyday
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down

We're all alone and there's nobody else
You still moan, "Keep your hands to yourself!"
I'm down (I'm really down)
Oh baby I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down.
Waaaao! Baby I'm down

Oh baby you know I'm down (I'm really down)
Oh yes I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down on the ground (I'm really down)
Ahhhh! Down (I'm really down)
Oh baby I'm upside down, a yea yea yea yea yea
I'm down (I'm really down)
Oh baby I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm feeling upside down (I'm really down)
Ooo! I'm down (I'm really down)
Baby I'm down yea
Oh baby I'm down yea
Baby I'm down (I'm really down)
Well baby I'm down (I'm really down)
Well baby baby baby (I'm really down)
Oh baby I'm down
I'm down, down, down

  8. W.... M....

    When this is a B-Side, you've got a damn good band.

  9. G.... O....

    Got my mind blown when Yes came out for an encore and did this back in the day.

  10. s.... ....

    もう、最高にカッコいいよ

  11. c.... ....

    I really hate remasters. I liked it best on my mono record player :)

  12. J.... C....

    Remember kids....the Rolling Stones are the greatest rock'n'roll band...."HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" The Beatles blow them off the stage!!!

  13. H.... J....

    She's A Woman !!!! What a Voice.

  14. V.... G....

    Shea August 15 1965!!!!

  19. B.... R....

    You still moan "Keep your hands to yourself!' Love his delivery on that.

  20. j.... c....

    -You tell lies thinkin' I can't see. You can´t cry 'cause you're laughing at me. How can you laugh when you know I'm down?...
    -Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
    Brian Jones to Mick Jagger and Keith Richard. (1968)

    j.... c....

    who? Brian Jones to Mick Jagger and Keith Richard. (1968)? Hahaha...…………….

  21. m.... ....

    youtube sais it got released in 88. Well maybe its digital form, but pleeeease correct it

    m.... ....

    Past Masters as an album was released on 88, so technically the description it's correct

    m.... ....

    @Amquacktador ok, the kids that are discovering music right now would not know that. They ll think the beatles were some kind of 60's revival band in the late 80's

    m.... ....

    mellowedpunker I see your point, but still, that release date is correct because of the album, not the single

    m.... ....

    Yeah, because of a single compilation album an entire generation will grow up thinking this song was first released in 1988.

  22. Y.... G....

    At 1:28 when John plays the keyboard with his elbows you can hear the keys getting pressed down

    I don't mean the notes but when you play the keyboard when you you press the keys you can hear them and also the notes

  23. S.... ....

    Aerosmith brought me here

  24. T.... v....

    What a fantastic classic rocksong by Lennon and McCartney. Whatever Life tries to bring me down, This always cheers me up as other song by the Modern Mozarts and Beethoven's do

  25. J.... M....

  26. C.... Z....

    You tell lies thinking I can't see
    You can't cry 'cause you're laughing at me
    I'm down (I'm really down)
    I'm down (Down on the ground)
    I'm down (I'm really down)
    How can you laugh when you know I'm down
    (How can you laugh) When you know I'm down

    Man buys ring woman throws it away
    Same old thing happens everyday
    I'm down (I'm really down)
    I'm down (Down on the ground)
    I'm down (I'm really down)
    How can you laugh when you know I'm down
    (How can you laugh) When you know I'm down

    We're all alone and there's nobody else
    You still moan, "Keep your hands to yourself!"
    I'm down (I'm really down)
    Oh baby, I'm down (Down on the ground)
    I'm down (I'm really down)
    How can you laugh when you know I'm down

    Oh baby, I'm down
    I'm down, down, down

  35. J.... d....

    what a terrible sound !

  36. H.... L....

    I love the rough mix of this compared to some other over-produced (somewhat) songs.

  37. E.... M....

    Amazing Fact > The Beatles recorded "I'm Down" on 14 June, 1965 in the same session as "Yesterday" and "I've Just Seen a Face"..

  38. p.... ....

    It's like every Beatles song is the best song ever

  39. C.... B....

    Andrew...I notice you unsubscribe with your 4 fake accounts...Your are very childish and immature, man. I NO NEED FAKE SUBSCRIBERS!!! You are an avenger, a real malicious rat. F.ck Teresa and Muir (what a stupid name!!! XDXD) 's assholes...you liked their photos so much, you cheater...Teresa since 26 December, Christmas...I gave up everything for you. Sold my former flat to fly and live in Britain, not for you, for myself, I want better life and chances and did this with me. Almost never liked my photos, a real Clash Fan like Clash Photos, you almost never liked them. Never liked my things on my timeline, I have many posts without likes, no Muir (what an idiot name! XDXD Muir... x) is important, playing idiot FB games are also important than Me, I gave you many likes earlier and this was the gratitude...I tried to speak with you under your post, no, you didn't speak with me...I tried to chat with you, you didn't want to speak with me ("sister") ...I'm not your sister, you ill f.cker.I'm not Katy or Emy. When attacked me under my photo in the Clash Club, I know you were there and didn't protect me, it was very painful, I had terrible stomach pain, earlier you protected me and at this time: not, no likes, letdown. And you want that I like you. YOU DESERVE THAT YOU DON'T SEE MY TIMELINE...YOU LAST MAGGOT RAT NOBODY. You enjoy the life with chatting women without me, add them as contacts, but they don't want carry your 2 backpack, your kids...except me. I wanted them and you. You didn't appreciated my efforts, just the silence always, you liar, you yuck. You are abject... I did everything for you, everything, you were my muse and took everything away, you lied to me, prohibited your timeline...oh, playing the mourner son. You aren't authentic, you are a liar.
    Disingenous superficial last crawler...I hate you. Destroyed my life and I am who I am, I am a character, you are a very lonely, old, single daddy and nobody wanted you except me. You lick everybody's asshole to be your contact on FB, chit-chat with them? 100% sure, not chat with me...Ha!!! Be brave!!! Tell me something...On my timeline. BE MAN YOU IDIOT AT LEAST ONE TIME IN YOUR MISERABLE SHITTY LIFE... I was the woman who give everything for you and you ignored me 100%. You will regret what did with me. So f.ck Teresa and Muir...they have 1000 likes under their photos and you gave to them +1, I haven't got too much, sometimes 0 and you didn't give me almost nothing, and 4 unsubscribe...I deserved this, after 3 years loyalty and I am a good person, who did for you what I can, for this "relationship" what had never existed.


    "You tell lies thinking i can't see,
    You can't cry 'cause you're laughing at me...
    (...)
    We are all alone and there's nobody else,
    You still moan, "Keep your hands to yourself!"


    I'm very angry, and I listen this song many days ago...and my anger can't abate. Why did this with me? A snail is faster than you. 3 years and nothing happened. A real man isn't this type of impotant like you...come on FB chat, come on, idiot, talk with me,maggot!!!! I HATE YOU!!!

  40. L.... ....

    I love The Beatles...

  41. M.... M....

    Classic Macca rocker!!!

  42. M.... S....

    I love how people share all these facts here that we all know like they’re telling us something we all don’t already know. We all know it was recorded same day as Yesterday. John played the organ with his elbow at Shea Stadium. John was hoarse On Twist And Shout We all know

  43. j.... c....

    My mum saw the Beatles in Birmingham,. They were supporting Roy Orbison . She said as soon as the Beatles came on the only thing she could hear was screaming

  44. U.... U....

    Kinda sounds like The Beach Boys.

  45. g.... l....

    Really like this B side of HELP

  47. P.... D....

    A underrated song. Man, this song is great.

    Paul's voice gives me goosebumps ALL over .Whether it is a love song or belting out a tune like this...WOW . All of them had great voices ..even Ringo , but Paul's is special

  49. g.... l....

    WHAT A DRUMMER,....MANDRUM

  50. J.... ....

    J.... B....

  60. J.... B....

    ya'll think thats a rip off, ya'll go to hell

  61. L.... A....

    We're all alone and there's nobody else
    You still moan, "Keep your hands to yourself!"
    LOL total teenage angst!

  62. J.... D....

    Give a like if you think that George Harrison is the best guitarist in the whole wide world 🌎

  63. B.... ....

    great, George's harmonizing is standing out

  64. V.... N....

    This might be their most MGTOW song ever. "Ticket to Ride" is also MGTOW, too.

  65. c.... ....

    Flip side of Yes it is (claiming to be from the forthcoming movie 8 arms to hold you which was renamed Help!

    c.... ....

    clasystems I had no idea. And is Paul ever going to get a pair of shoes? I think he's really dead. And that Ringo is dead too. The EEG was a flat line ---------- wow you know every thing about the Beatles. Your are so FAB. Arnold Bourbon Amaral

  66. T.... S....

    1:28 John starts playing the Keyboards with his Elbow

    T.... S....

    The SNES Man you can hear the keys being pushed down too

    T.... S....

    Lol hahaha

    T.... S....

    JAJAJAJAJJAJA

    T.... S....

    He actually does back then when they used to play this song live John wouldn’t care anymore so he just used his elbow

    Edit:look up I’m down live

    T.... S....

    It’s the version at Shea stadium

  67. J.... A....

    LOS TIEMPOS DE RINGO SON PERFECTOS!!!

  68. P.... C....

    They ended the first Shea concert with this.

  69. M.... ....

    Adrian Belew's cover brought me here. : )

  70. l.... s....

    Love Paul’s singing this song great voice 🎸🎸🥁🎸

  71. L.... ....

    Como no olvidar esta canción :3

  72. i.... ....

    Excellent rockin’ song... Brian Johnson of AC⚡️DC sounds like he sang along to this back in the day...

  73. J.... S....

    One of their worst songs

    J.... S....

    Smash Runner yes I know I’ve already been told idk how i got that wrong as I’m a huge Beatles fan, literally my first name is Lennon and my middle name is McCartney and that’s not even a lie, but yeh I know sorry. I’m not sure why I thought it was a cover, I did know but in the moment I thought it was 😂

    J.... S....

    @Lennon Hall Be honest: you thought it was a cover because it is not as good as the rest of their songs.

    J.... S....

    @Jacint Short is in the level of Shes A Women and Their great Rock Covers like Rock n Roll Music , Twist And Shout Etc

  74. P.... ....

    Ahh, 2 minutes and 32 seconds of Paul screaming his head off. Isn't it grand? I’d take one home with me.

    P.... ....

    It reminds me of Hey jude, when Paul screams during the Nananas

  75. U.... ....

    Happy birthday, mister rock'n'roll! Many happy returns Paul!

  76. V.... V....

    I'm really High!!!

  77. a.... g....

    is this falsetto voice? screaming voice? i dont get it.

  78. M.... F....

    Sounds like 50s rockabilly.

  79. J.... C....

    Rolling Stones...the "Greatest Rock'n'Roll" Band In The World?" Hardly!!! Just listen!!!

    J.... C....

    Actually, The Beatles are the 1st in the list of 500 greatest bands and singers of all the times

    J.... C....

    The Stones are great but The Beatles are on the next level. Apples and oranges. Pink Floyd comes closer to the level of The Beatles but even they cannot touch them.

    J.... C....

    Stones is peace of shit

  80. A.... C....

    Love this Beatles Song!

  81. B.... C....

    El puro rock mis respetos ☆゚. * ・ 。゚

  82. n.... p....

    Algum brasileiro em maio de 2019?
    I love these music

    n.... p....

    This *

    E em maio não, mas tamoai em novembro ne hauahaaha

    n.... p....

    Dezembro também, e para sempre, é claro!!!

  83. j.... s....

    miss the old video of them doing this at Shea they are having soo much fun. and Paul I know the first verse only too well

  84. M.... O....

    Y aún hay quién cree que estos chicos no rockeaban...

    Temazo, la voz de Paul, el feeling, los coros de John y George, la batería de Ringo... Bestial.

  85. B.... P....

    Ringo's drums really ring on this one.

  86. n.... d....

    Rock on, Sir Paul.

  87. R.... W....

    This has to be one of Paul's best screamers. Check out another screamer by Paul. It's called Monkberry moon delight. It's from the Ram CD. Paul literally screams the song. Just thought I'd mention it.

    R.... W....

    I love that and O Darling

    R.... W....

    I'm not the biggest fan of the Beatles but I really like the more aggressive vocals so I'll check that out too

    R.... W....

    look for "she said yeah", much more yelling

    R.... W....

    Twist and SHOUT

    R.... W....

    @MC BackFat That's more of a John screamer.
    Can I put forward 'Birthday' as a Paul one?

  88. A.... M....

    I grew up on the Beatles. I remember being 12 and listening to possibly every Beatles song EVER MADE. I love them so much, there music will forever be ingrained in my memory. Take me back to simple times.

  89. L.... R....

    Flip side of "Help" in the us....Heavy stuff and McCartney's voice is otherworldly

    L.... R....

    I know, I have the 45 myself - Side A: HELP!, Side B: I'm Down.

    I got it at a second-hand record store in the late 1970s.

    L.... R....

    The Capitol single I had was "Hello Goodbye" on side B

  90. J.... S....

    Han pasado tantos años y nadie a logrado superar a los Beatles.

    J.... S....

    Y NADIE LOS SUPERARA. SON DE OTRO MUNDO.

  91. J.... L....

    This and Helter Skelter are Paul's best songs

    J.... L....

    Martha my dear the best

    J.... L....

    I ve got a feeling ?

  92. B.... C....

    The flip side of "Help"; a great rocker! I saw (on tv) them performing this on the Ed Sullivan show!

    B.... C....

    I know, I have the 45 myself - Side A: HELP!, Side B: I'm Down.

    I got it at a second-hand record store in the late 1970s.

    B.... C....

    @kiwitrainguy Good for you! I used to have the 45 myself, but my mother gave it and some other stuff away😠

  93. J.... ....

    Crazy how The Wailers and White Flag’s versions are so much better.

    J.... ....

    Justin Yes, if you believe that you’re crazy.

  94. G.... H....

    One their most underrated songs.

  95. J.... P....

    My favorite band ever

  96. A.... L....
