"Martha My Dear" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1968)

Martha my dear, though I spend my days in conversation
Please - remember me, Martha my love
Don't forget me, Martha my dear.

Hold your head up you silly girl, look what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you - silly girl.

Take a good look around you
Take a good look you're bound to see
That you and me were meant to be for each other - silly girl.

Hold your hand out you silly girl, see what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you - silly girl.

Martha my dear, you have always been my inspiration
Please - be good to me, Martha my love
Don't forget me, Martha my dear.
