Do You Want To Know A Secret
Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
You never know how much I really love you
You'll never know how much I really care

Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear

Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo

Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo

I've known a secret for a week or two
Nobody knows just we two

Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo, oo 		Availability:

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:39
George sings wrong note and quickly corrects it on the first "oo-oo-oo"
0:43 * NEW *
Lead vocal quality seems to change here, as if a new take or drop in here.
1:09 * NEW *
George sings "I've known a secret for the week or two" as opposed to the more sensible "the secret for a"
1:11, also 1:49-end
Bass plays wrong notes here.
1:29 * NEW *
"Do you promise not to tell, adh (doo-dah-doo)" Was George about to sing "A Doo Dah Doo" by mistake?
1:50 * NEW *
Reported as a bass trombone note, there is one very bad buzzy note in the guitar here.
Note: I did not write or compile these anomalies. Please don't email me with new anomalies and please read the WGO Info page.
