Notes:
Written by John at his Menlove Avenue home, this song became known as an overt sexual invitation from Lennon. It was originally written much slower, and it was George Martin that suggested lifting the tempo. Lennon fashioned it after Roy Orbison, but the name came from an altogether different source. In 1932, Bing Crosby had a hit with a song titled "Please," written by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger. In the beginning lyrics, the words "please" and "pleas," were used, as "Oh please, lend your little ear to my pleas..." Lennon recalled this song from his mother having sung it to him when he was a child. He always liked the "please -pleas" sound, and developed this song around the same theme.
