"I Saw Her Standing There" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1963)

One, two, three four.
Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.

So how could I dance with another
Ooh when I saw her standing there.

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.

She wouldn't dance with another
Whoa when I saw her standing there.

Well my heart went boom when I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine.

Well we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her

Now I'll never dance with another
Whoa since/when I saw her standing there. (hey! aah!)

Well my heart went boom when I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine.

Oh (wuh!) we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her.

Now I'll never dance with another
Oh since I saw her standing there.
Whoa since I saw her standing there
Yeah, well since I saw her standing there.
