[Chorus]
You're gonna lose that girl (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose that girl (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)

[Verse 1]
If you don't take her out tonight
She's gonna change her mind (She's gonna change her mind)
And I will take her out tonight
And I will treat her kind (I'm gonna treat her kind)

[Chorus]
You're gonna lose that girl (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose that girl (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)

[Verse 2]
If you don't treat her right, my friend
You're gonna find her gone, (You're gonna find her gone)
'Cause I will treat her right, and then
You'll be the lonely one (You're not the only one)

[Chorus]
You're gonna lose that girl (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose that girl (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna loo... (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)

I'll make a point
Of taking her away from you
(Watch what you do)
Yeah
The way you treat her
What else can I do?

[Guitar solo]
(You're gonna lose that girl)
(You're gonna lose that girl)

[Chorus]
You're gonna lose that girl (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose that girl (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna loo... (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)

[Bridge]
I'll make a point
Of taking her away from you
(Watch what you do)
Yeah
The way you treat her
What else can I do?

[Verse 3]
If you don't take her out tonight
She's gonna change her mind (She's gonna change her mind)
And I will take her out tonight
And I will treat her kind (I'm gonna treat her kind)

[Chorus]
You're gonna lose that girl (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose that girl (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose that girl (Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)

The Beatles

The Beatles are arguably the most famous, critically-acclaimed, and successful rock band of all time—certainly the preeminent group of the 20th century. They started out as four teenagers playing grimy basement clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, but they progressed to become world-beating rock stars who are still influential to this day.

John Lennon first formed a skiffle group called The Quarrymen in March 1957. A fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined shortly thereafter, eventually inviting his friend George Harrison to audition for the band. After finally impressing John with his guitar skills, George was asked to join—but this juncture would be short-lived as John’s departure to college signaled the other quarrymen to go their separate ways.

By 1960, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison had re-branded from ‘Johnny & the Moondogs’ to ‘The Silver Beetles’ at the behest of their new bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe. The name would eventually evolve into ‘The Silver Beatles’ by July of that year, before settling on ‘The Beatles’ come August—just in time for their trip to Hamburg with new drummer, Pete Best. Though club residencies in Germany would prove fundamental to the group’s progress as a whole, the tour turned out to be a blessing and a curse, following the deportation of a then-seventeen-year-old George Harrison, and the eventual tragic death of Stuart Sutcliffe.
