[Verse 1]
You don't feel right when I come on strong
Don't get it wrong
I wait all night but you won't be long
Don't get it wrong

[Chorus 1]
Hear me right
I love you from the bottom of my heart
You make the answer bright
You touch me in a way that no-one else could ever do
If you only love me, I'll love you

[Verse 2]
And if you're tempted to tell a lie
Don't get it wrong
Well it breaks my heart when I see you cry
Don't get it wrong

[Chorus 2]
Get it right
The brightest light that's shining in the skies
Is shining from your eyes
I love you in a way, that no-one else could ever do
If you only love me, I'll love you

[Bridge]
I'm often accused of giving too little
It's got me confused, I'm split down the middle
Conflicting reviews of our life coming in
It's tough on a tightrope, yes it's tough on a tightrope

[Chorus 1]
Hear me right
I love you from the bottom of my heart
You make the answer bright
You touch me in a way that no-one else could ever do
If you only love me, I'll love you

[Outro]
Tough on a tightrope

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.
