  THE BEATLES - ASK ME WHY (McCartney/Lennon) From PLEASE PLEASE ME
                album. Released on 22nd March 1963.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------

  I love you, 'cause you tell me things I want to know.
  And it's true that it really only goes to show,
  That I know,
  That I, I, I, I should never, never, never be blue.

  Now you're mine, my happiness still makes me cry.
  And in time you'll understand the reason why,
  If I cry, It's not because I'm sad,
  But you're the only love that I've ever had.

  I can't believe it's happened to me
  I can't conceive of any more misery.

  Ask me why, I'll say I love you,
  And I'm always thinking of you.

  I love you, 'cause you tell me things I want to know.
  And it's true that it really only goes to show,
  That I know,
  That I, I, I, I should never, never, never be blue.

  Ask me why, I'll say I love you,
  And I'm always thinking of you.

  I can't believe it's happened to me.
  I can't conceive of any more misery.

  Ask me why, I'll say I love you,
  And I'm always thinking of you.
