Do You Want to Know a Secret?

	John Lennon has pinched a few lines--and in "Come Together" it got him into some hot water--but he shouldn't be regarded as a plagiarist because his resulting songs are completely original. Most readers of this will know that the beginning of "Do You Want to Know a Secret" is the same as the "Wishing Well Song" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. George has borne lot of criticism for his vocal in this song--his first recording as a still-19-year-old. He does sound nervous and there are a couple "fluffs" (like very nearly joining in the doo-dah-doos in the final verse), but I'm convinced that his initial "oooohhhhh" was blue-noted on purpose, not out-of-key as has been popularly suggested.

Lyrics

You'll never know how much I really love you.
You'll never know how much I really care.

Listen,
Do you want to know a secret,
Do you promise not to tell, whoa oh, oh.

Closer,
Let me whisper in your ear,
Say the words you long to hear,
I'm in love with you.

Listen,
Do you want to know a secret,
Do you promise not to tell, whoa oh, oh.

Closer,
Let me whisper in your ear,
Say the words you long to hear,
I'm in love with you.

I've known the secret for a week or two,
Nobody knows, just we two.

Listen,
Do you want to know a secret,
Do you promise not to tell, whoa oh, oh.

Closer,
Let me whisper in your ear,
Say the words you long to hear,
I'm in love with you.
