Please believe me

Believe me when I tell you, ooh
I’ll never do you no harm (no harm)
When you told me (when you told me)
You didn’t need me (you didn’t need me) anymore
You know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! When you told me
You didn’t need me anymore
You know I nearly broke down and died
Darling, Oh! Darling
Please believe me
I’ll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you, ooh

When you told (oh darling), when you told me

Just uh, the young girl’s divorce just gone through
Free at last, I’m free
This morning, the baby told her lawyer it’s okay
Believe me when I tell you, ooh

When you told me (when you told me) you didn’t need me anymore
You know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me you didn’t need me anymore
Well, you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! Darling (darling, darling)
Please believe me
I’ll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I’ll never never do you no harm
No darling, no harm
No darling, no harm
No blame

“Oh! Darling” is a song by the Beatles composed by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon-McCartney) and appearing as the fourth song on the album, Abbey Road, in 1969.

This song’s lyrics tell the story of the narrator desperately pleading with his lover not to leave. While the band was rehearing the song in studio, John announced: “I’ve just heard that Yoko’s divorce [from Tony Cox] has just gone through. Free at last!”

McCartney later said of recording the track, “When we were recording ‘Oh! Darling’ I came into the studios early every day for a week to sing it by myself because at first my voice was too clear. I wanted it to sound as though I’d been performing it on stage all week.” He would only try the song once each day; if it was not right he would wait until the next day. According to sound engineer Alan Parsons, McCartney once lamented that “five years ago I could have done this in a flash”. In a 1980 interview with Playboy magazine, John Lennon said, “‘Oh! Darling’ was a great one of Paul’s that he didn’t sing too well. I always thought I could have done it better – it was more my style than his. He wrote it, so what the hell, he’s going to sing it.”

The original song is in the key of A major.

George Harrison described the song as “a typical 1950s–’60s-period song because of its chord structure”.

Engineer Geoff Emerick recalled that McCartney sang while the backing track played over speakers, instead of headphones, because he wanted to feel as though he was singing to a live audience.
