"Think For Yourself" Lyrics

by George Harrison

Original Manuscript (1965)

(1)
I've got a word or two to say
about the things that you do ...
You're telling all those lies, about the good things
that we can have if we close our eyes.

---- do what you want to do
go where you're going to ...
think for yourself 'cos I won't be there with you

(2)
I left you far behind, the ruins of the life
that you have in mind.
And tho' you still can't see, I know your mind's made up
you're going to cause more misery.

--- chorus.

(3)
Although you're [sic] mind's opaque, try thinking more
if just for your own sake.
The future still looks good, and you've got time
to rectify all the thinks [sic] that you should -----

As Released by the Beatles (1965)

I've got a word or two
To say about the things that you do.
You're telling all those lies
About the good things
That we can have if we close our eyes.

Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you.

I left you far behind
The ruins of the life that you have in mind
And though you still can't see
I know your mind's made up
You're gonna cause more misery.

Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you.

Although your mind's opaque
Try thinking more if just for your own sake.
The future still looks good
And you've got time to rectify
All the things that you should.

Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you.

Think for yourself
'cos I won't be there with you.
