Ticket To Ride

Release date: 09 April 1965

I think I'm gonna be sad,
I think it's today, yeah!
The girl that's drivin' me mad,
Is goin' away.

She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to rihihihide
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care.

She said that living with me,
Is bringin' her down yeah!
For she would never be free when I was around.

She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to rihihihide,
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care.

I don't know why she's ridin' so high,
She oughtta think twice,
She oughtta to do right by me.

I think I'm gonna be sad,
I think it's today, yeah!
The girl that's drivin' me mad,
Is goin' away.

She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to rihihihide,
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care.

I don't know why she's ridin' so high,
She oughtta think twice,
She oughtta to do right by me.

Before she gets to sayin' goodbye,
She oughtta to think twice,
She oughtta to do right by me.

She said that livin' with me,
Is bringing her down yeah!
For she would never be free when I was around.

She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to rihihihide,
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care.
My baby don't care, my baby don't care.
My baby don't care, my baby don't care.
