[Intro]
Okay, okay, okay

[Verse 1]
I wonder why you're coming to me
I think you must want something for free
I try to work out what I could say
But my brain's not working today

[Chorus]
I know you need something
You're talking to me
You're talking to me
I know you need something
Well, what can it be?
Well, what can it be?
I know you need something
You're talking to me
But you don't get nothing for free

[Interlude]
Okay, okay, okay (Nothing's for free)

[Verse 2]
You've got a real cool way about you
Is there a lot you want me to do? (Yeah)
I'd love to help out in any way
But my brain stopped working today

[Chorus]
I know you need something
You're talking to me
You're talking to me
I know you need something
Well, what can it be?
Well, what can it be?
I know you need something
You're talking to me
But you don't get nothing for free

[Bridge]
I want to tell you what it means to me
I love you every way and now, and now
But I can't make up my mi-mi-mind

[Interlude]
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
I wonder why you're coming to me
I think you must want something for free
I'd love to help out in any way
But-but my brain stopped working today

[Chorus]
I know you need something
You're talking to me
You're talking to me
I know you need something
Well, what can it be?
Well, what can it be?
I know you need something
You're talking to me
But you don't get nothing for free

[Interlude]
Okay, okay, okay

[Outro]
My brain stopped working
My brain stopped working
My brain stopped working today

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
