You sailed away one night in June
I heard you say you would be back soon
But since that day it's been one long loon
Oh sweet darling, what a mess I'm in

I spoke to Jimmy with the big tattoo
Said had he seen any sign of you
He looked at me and then laughed at you
See my love, just wait a minute
Oh sweet darling, what a mess I'm in

[Guitar Solo]

When I want ya do I get ya
All I needed your number
Will you give me your number

Oh sweet darling
Oh sweet darling
Oh sweet darling, what a mess I'm in
The mess I'm in, since you left me
The mess I'm in, oh yeah
Oh oh, oh oh wo wo
Oh, oh oh oh oh, wo wo

When you're near me
Can you hear me
I can't see ya
I can feel ya
When you're near me
Can ya hear me

Paul McCartney and Wings, also known simply as Wings, were an Anglo-American rock band formed in 1971 by former Beatle Paul McCartney with his wife Linda McCartney on keyboards, session drummer Denny Seiwell, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine. Wings were noted for frequent personnel changes as well as commercial success, going through three lead guitarists and four drummers. However, the core trio of the McCartneys and Laine remained intact throughout the group’s existence until 1981.
