[Intro]
This is Eric Andersen up here again. I"m Phil, he's Don. I'd like, I wanted to bring him up here to do one thing which is very much out of character with this whole program. (What's that?) It's a song - since this is a songwriter's hoot, I'd like to do a song by the two most successful songwriters in the world, Paul McCartney and John Lennon. No rel - Okay, no relation. 

[Verse 1]
So I should have known better with a girl like you
That I would love everything that you do
And I do, hey hey hey, and I do

[Verse 2]
So I never realized what a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see?

[Chorus]
That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too

[Verse 3]
So, I should have realized a lot of things before
If this is love you've gotta give me more
Give me more, hey hey hey, give me more

[Chorus]
And when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too

[Verse 4]
So, I should have realized a lot of things before
If this is love you've gotta give me more
Give me more, hey hey hey, give me more

[Outro]
I wanted to do that, for the main reason was that, to make a point, that it's all not nonsense. But I think, you know, that in all of what's going on in music today, what's going on in folk music, I think the Beatles are the most exciting thing, really musically going on. 

And that's what I'd like to make a point about writing topical songs that I always try to do that when I'm writing songs. Like the first song I did, "That's What I Want to Hear", is a very pop-oriented melody. That's why we did it, to show you that pop-oriented songs aren't necessarily bad. That's pretty exciting music.
