Something
Harrison

 

Lyrics:
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

One drum beat hits the rim or stick instead of the drum head

Listen, very low in the mix, George starts to play a little 4 note riff which causes him to miss his start point, and so the real line fades in a little late!
 

Notes:

George Harrison got the idea for this song in 1968, after listening to a song by James Taylor, titled, Something In The Way She Moves, and decided to build a song around it. Harrison finished the song, and recorded it in February, April and again in May 1969 during the Abbey Road Sessions. This would come to be the only song by The Beatles that Frank Sinatra would sing. Sinatra called it "the greatest love song ever written," and performed it hundreds of times. Sinatra did however change it slightly to serve his style, changing the middle section to "You stick around, Jack, she might show." Throughout Sinatra's many performances of this song, he always introduced it as the song by Lennon and McCartney, never giving the credit to Harrison. I don't think there was any ill intent, it was just that Sinatra either never bothered to find out the correct information, or didn't care, as Lennon-McCartney carried more weight.
