Text
It's been a hard day's night and I've workin' like a dog; It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleepin' like a log. But when I get home to you, I find the things that you do will make me feel all right.	a
You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things, And it's worth it just to hear you say, you're gonna give me everything. So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone You know I feel OK.	b
When I'm home, everything seems to be right. When I'm home, feeling you holding me tight. (Tight, yeh!)	c
