If I Needed Someone

If I needed someone to love you're the one that I'd be thinking of
If I needed someone

If I had some more time to spend
Then I guess I'd be with you my friend if I needed someone

Had you come some other day then it might not have been like this
But you see now I'm too much in love

Carve your number on my wall and maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone

If I had some more time to spend
Then I guess I'd be with you my friend if I needed someone

Had you come some other day then it might not have been like this
But you see now I'm too much in love
Carve your number on my wall and maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone.

"If I Needed Someone" is a song written by George Harrison. Versions by the Beatles and by the Hollies appeared simultaneously, both being released in the United Kingdom on 3 December 1965. The Hollies version appeared on a single. Most of the Hollies' previous singles had been big top ten hits. When their version of "If I Needed Someone" only reached the lower half of the top 20 in the UK, they were quite critical and said they had made a mistake recording it. The Beatles' recording of the song first appeared in the UK on the 1965 album Rubber Soul and was later included in the 1966 North American release, Yesterday and Today.
