“You Won't See Me” was recorded on November 11, 1965 in two takes during a marathon recording session that lasted 13 hours during the Beatles’ last day to record before the final mixing. This catchy tune has a real pop feel. “You Won't See Me” is thought to be about Paul’s relationship with Jane Asher. This song shows a more serious side through its lyrics. Paul seems to be singing about deprivation. He wants attention from someone (most likely his girlfriend) who does not seem to notice him. He expresses sorrow and grief when he sings, “Though the days are few, they're filled with tears and since I lost you It feels like years.”
Paul seems to had gone into a state of depression during a time when his girlfriend either did not pay attention to him or left him unexpextadly. Paul was heartbroken. I found this song particularly interesting because although the lyrics are very sad, the instrumentals help the song catch the listener with the repetition of the vocals in “Ooh la la la” and the melodic pattern.
“You Won't See Me”
When I call you up
Your line's engaged
I have had enough
So act your age
We have lost the time
that was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
If you won't see me
you won't see me
I don't know why
you should want to hide
But I can't get through
My hands are tied
I won't want to stay
I don't gave much to say
But I can't turn away
And you won't see me
you won't see me
Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few
They're filled with tears
And since I lost you
It feels like years
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me
you won't see me
Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few
They're filled with tears
And since I lost you
It feels like years
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me
you won't see me
