	Paul McCartney has throughout his life taken the high road in talking of personal problems, undoubtedly because he feels that it is the right thing to do, being well-brought up to withhold judgment. In "Gratitude" McCartney directly addresses his recent ex, Heather Mills, being careful to remember the (brief) joy she brought into his life and determining in his heart to remember her this way. But listen to him speak these pledges through clenched teeth! Listen also to the 'Greek chorus' of the backing vocals, which turn any chance of sincerity into mockery. It is against Paul's personal code to publicly throw an adversary under the bus ("Too Many People", "Vanity Fair", and "The Pound is Sinking" being exceptions) but in "Gratitude" he finds a clever way of letting his true feelings be known!

Gratitude

Gratitude

I'm so grateful for everything you've ever givin' me
How can I explain what it means to be loved by you
By you, loved by you, loved by you

Show my gratitude, gratitude, show my gratitude
I wanna show my gratitude, gratitude ya.

Well, I was lonely, I was living with a memory
But my cold and lonely nights ended when you sheltered me
Loved by you, I was loved by you, ya, I was loved by you

I wanna show my gratitude, gratitude, show my gratitude to you
Gratitude, show my gratitude to you, oh ya

I should stop loving you
Think what you put me through
But I don't want to lock my heart away
I will look forward to
Days when I'd be loving you
Until then, gonna wish and hope and prey

Ya ya ya ya ya!

I wanna show my gratitude, gratitude
I wanna show my gratitude, show my
Yeah my gratitude

To be loved by you, be loved by you,
Loved by you, to be loved by you

Gratitude
Gratitude
Gratitude
