Last night, I said these words to my girl G A B
E A E
I know you never even try, girl
A F#m
Come on (Come on), come on (Come on)
C#m A
Come on (Come on), come on (Come on)
E A B E
Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you

昨夜こんな言葉を僕の彼女に言った
やろうとも思わないって分かってはいるけど
ねえ、お願いだから
僕を楽しませてよ
僕が君を喜ばせてあげてるみたいに

You don’t need me to show the way, love
Why do I always have to say, love?
Come on (Come on), Come on (Come on)
Come on (Come on), Come on (Come on)
Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you

僕に将来の事なんて語ってほしくないんだね
なぜいつもこう言わなきゃならないんだろう
ねえ、お願いだから
僕を楽しませてほしい
僕が君を喜ばせてあげてるみたいに

I don’t want to sound complaining
B
But you know there’s always rain
E
In my heart (in my heart)
A
I do all the pleasing with you
B
It’s so hard to reason
E A B E
With you, whoa yeah, why do you make me blue?

不満げに聞こえるのは嫌だけど
僕の心の中は
いつも雨降りだって知ってるでしょ
僕は君を満足させようと色々やってるのに
分かってもらうのはとても大変
ああ、なぜ僕を憂鬱にさせるのさ

Last night, I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try girl
Come on (Come on) Come on (Come on)
Come on (Come on) Come on (Come on)
Please, please me, whoa yeah, like I please you
E A B E
(Please me) whoa yeah, like I please you
E A B E
(Please me) whoa yeah, like I please you
G C B E

PLAYBOY誌のインタビュー

Please Please Me is my song completely. It was my attempt at writing a Roy Orbison song, would you believe it? I wrote it in the bedroom in my house at Menlove Avenue, which was my auntie’s place… I remember the day and the pink coverlet on the bed and I heard Roy Orbison doing ‘Only the Lonely’, or something. That’s where that came from. And also I was always intrigued by the words of [sings] ‘Please lend your little ear to my pleas’– a Bing Crosby song. I was always intrigued by the double use of the word ‘please’. So it was a combination of Bing Crosby and Roy Orbison.
