[Verse 1]
There must have been a lot of heartache
For you to sink so low
You must have had a ton of pressure
Only answer if the answer's no

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I need loving, you need loving too
Doesn't take a lot to get off the ground

[Verse 2]
There must have been a lot of magic
When the world was born
Let me be the one you wish for
One you call for, when you're all alone

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I need loving, you need loving too
Wouldn't take a lot to get off the ground

[Chorus]
Off the ground la la la la la la la, off the ground la la la la la la la
Fly around la la la la la la la, fly around la la la la la la la
Hear the sound, hear the sound
Off the ground la la la la la la la, off the ground la la la la la la la

[Verse 3]
Though it takes a lot of power
To make a big tree grow
It doesn't need a pot of knowledge
For a seed knows what a seed must know

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You need loving, I need loving too
Doesn't take a lot to get off the ground

[Chorus]
Off the ground la la la la la la la, off the ground la la la la la la la
Fly around la la la la la la la, fly around la la la la la la la
Hear the sound, hear the sound
Off the ground la la la la la la la, off the ground la la la la la la la

[Outro]
Hear the sound, hear the sound
Off the ground la la la la la la la, off the ground la la la la la la la
Yeah yeah, off the ground

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.
