Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feelin' two-foot small
Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
How could I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Composed by Lennon/McCartney
( É uma das minhas preferidas, só o John é que canta. Não sei se é por ser triste ou por falar ao coração, sei que até a descobri primeiro no álbum vermelho (1º) dos Beatles para voz, guitarra e piano, e depois fui mesmo à procura da "original". Acho que soa mais "John" do que "Paul", e não só pela voz. Já ouvi uma 2ª versão do Eddie Vedder para o filme "I am Sam", quase, quase tão boa como.)
As palvras do Mestre John:
JOHN 1965: "One I do which I like is, 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away.' But it's not commercial."
JOHN 1971: "It's one of those that you sort of sing a bit sadly to yourself, 'Here I stand/Head in hand.' I started thinking about my own emotions. I don't know when exactly it started, like 'I'm A Loser' or 'Hide Your Love Away,' or those kind of things. Instead of projecting myself into a situation I would just try to express what I felt about myself which I had done in me books. I think it was Dylan helped me realize that-- I had a sort of professional songwriter's attitude to writing Pop songs, but to express myself I would write 'Spaniard In The Works' or 'In His Own Write' --the personal stories which were expressive of my personal emotions. I'd have a separate 'songwriting' John Lennon who wrote songs for the sort of meat market, and I didn't consider them, the lyrics or anything, to have any depth at all. Then I started being me about the songs... not writing them objectively, but subjectively."
