"I Want to Tell You" Lyrics

by George Harrison

Original Manuscript (1966)

I want to tell you -
My head is filled with things to say
When your [sic] here, all those words they
seem to slip away -

How can I tell you
About the things that I'm thinking of


When I get near you - the games
begin to drag me down - it's
alright - I'll make you maybe next
time around.

But if I seem to act unkind
it's only me and not my mind
that is confusing things

I want to tell you
You hang me up, and I don't know
why -
maybe love will be the one thing to get me by

If you should see me - and need
love to pass the time

Each time I see you

As Released by the Beatles (1966)

I want to tell you
My head is filled with things to say
When you're here
All those words they seem to slip away.

When I get near you
The games begin to drag me down
It's alright
I'll make you maybe next time around.

But if I seem to act unkind
It's only me, it's not my mind
That is confusing things.

I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind, I could wait forever
I've got time.

Sometimes I wish I knew you well
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe you'd understand.

I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind, I could wait forever
I've got time.

I've got time.

I've got time.
