"No Reply" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1964)

This happened once before
When I came to your door
No reply
They said it wasn't you
But I saw you peep through your window
I saw the light, I saw the light.

I know that you saw me
'cos I looked up to see your face.

I tried to telephone
They said you were not home
That's a lie
'cos I know where you've been
I saw you walk in your door
I nearly died, I nearly died.

'cos you walked hand in hand
With another man in my place.

If I were you I'd realise that I
Love you more than any other guy
And I'll forgive the lies
That I heard before
When you gave me no reply.

I tried to telephone
They said you were not home
That's a lie
'cos I know where you've been
I saw you walk in your door
I nearly died, I nearly died.

'cos you walked hand in hand
With another man in my place.

No reply, no reply.

One of their brilliant early songs - just getting familiar with some of that stuff through getting the mono box set.
