[Part 1: "Bring It on Home to Me"]
[Verse 1]
If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind

[Chorus]
Oh, you better bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)

[Verse 2]
You know I laughed, laughed when you left
But now I know I only hurt myself

[Chorus]
Oh, you better bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah), yeah yeah yeah

[Instrumental Verse]

[Chorus]
Oh, you better bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)

[Verse 3]
You know I'll always be your slave
Until I'm dead and buried in my grave

[Chorus]
Oh, you better bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)

[Part 2: "Send Me Some Lovin'"]

[Verse 4]
Send me some loving
Send it I pray
How can I love you
When you're so far away

[Verse 5]
Send me your picture
Send it my dear
So I can hold it
And pretend you are here

[Verse 6]
Send me your kisses
I can feel your touch
I need you, I need you so bad
Don't you know I miss you so much

[Verse 7]
My days are so lonely
My nights are so blue
I'm here and I'm lonely
Just waiting for you

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
