Please Please Me
Es el álbum debut de la banda británica de rock The Beatles, lanzado el 22 de marzo de 1963 en el Reino Unido. Su publicación acompaña el inicio de la Beatlemanía, después del éxito de los sencillos «Please Please Me» (nº 1 en varias listas musicales inglesas, pero solo nº 2 en el Record Retailer) y «Love Me Do» (nº 17 en el Record Retailer).

Además de los cuatro títulos en los singles, el álbum contiene diez canciones grabadas el día 11 febrero de 1963 en los estudios EMI de Abbey Road, durante una sesión de grabación maratónica de 585 minutos (nueve horas y 45 minutos).

El disco contiene ocho canciones que fueron compuestas por John Lennon y Paul McCartney.

1- I Saw Her Standing There

Well she was just seventeen

You know what I mean

And the way she looked

Was way beyond compare

So how could I dance with another,

Oh, when I saw her standing there

Well she looked at me

And I, I could see

That before too long

I'd fall in love with her

She wouldn't dance with another

Oh, when I saw her standing there

Well my heart went boom

When I crossed that room

And I held her hand in mine

Oh we danced through the night

And we held each other tight

And before too long

I fell in love with her

Now I'll never dance with another

Oh, when I saw her standing there

Well my heart went boom

When I crossed that room

And I held her hand in mine

Oh we danced through the night

And we held each other tight

And before too long

I fell in love with her

Now I'll never dance with another

Oh, when I saw her standing there

Oh, since I saw her standing there

Yeah, well since I saw her standing there

2- Misery

The world is treating me bad... Misery

I'm the kind of guy

Who never used to cry

The world is treating me bad... Misery!

I've lost her now for sure

I won't see her no more

It's gonna be a drag... Misery!

I'll remember all the little things we've done

Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one

Send her back to me

Cos everyone can see

Without her I will be in misery

I'll remember all the little things we've done

She'll remember and she'll miss her only one, lonely one

Send her back to me

Cos everyone can see

Without her I will be in misery (Oh oh oh)

In misery (Ooh ee ooh ooh)

My misery (La la la la la la)

3- Anna (go to him)

Anna,

You come and ask me, girl,

To set you free, girl,

You say he loves you more than me,

So I will set you free,

Go with him.

Go with him.

Anna,

Girl, before you go now,

I want you to know, now,

That I still love you so,

But if he loves you mo',

Go with him.

All of my life,

I've been searchin' for a girl

To love me like I love you.

Oh, now, but every girl I've ever had,

Breaks my heart and leaves me sad.

What am I, what am I supposed to do.

Anna,

Just one more thing, girl.

You give back your ring to me, 

And I will set you free,

Go with him.

Anna,

Girl, before you go now,

I want you to know, now,

That I still love you so,

But if he loves you mo',

Go with him.

All of my life,

I've been searchin' for a girl

To love me like I love you.

Oh, now, but every girl I've ever had,

Breaks my heart and leaves me sad.

What am I, what am I supposed to do.

4- Chains

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains,

And they ain't the kind that you can see.

Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me. Yeah!

Chains, well I can't break away from these chains,

Can't run around 'cause I'm not free.

Whoa, these chains of love won't let me be. Yeah!

Now believe me when I tell you I think you're fine.

I'd like to hold you, but, darling, I'm imprisoned by these

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains,

And they ain't the kind that you can see.

Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me, Yeah!

I wanna tell you pretty baby, your lips look sweet.

I'd like to kiss them, But I can't break away from all these

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains,

And they ain't the kind that you can see.

Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me, Yeah!

6- Ask me why

I love you, 'cause you tell me things I want to know.

And it's true that it really only goes to show,

That I know,

That I, I, I, I should never, never, never be blue.

Now you're mine, my happiness still makes me cry.

And in time, you'll understand the reason why,

If I cry,

It's not because I'm sad, but you're the only love that I've ever had.

I can't believe it's happened to me

I can't conceive of any more misery.

Ask me why, I'll say I love you,

And I'm always thinking of you.

And I'm always thinking of you.

I can't believe it's happened to me.

I can't conceive of any more misery.

Ask me why, I'll say I love you,

And I'm always thinking of you.

12- A Taste Of Honey

A taste of honey

Tasting much sweeter than wine

I dream of your first kiss

And then I feel upon my lips again

A taste of honey

Tasting much sweeter than wine

I will return, yes I will return

I'll come back for the honey and you

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart

There lingers still, though we're far apart

That taste of honey

Tasting much sweeter than wine

Oh I will return, yes I will return

I'll come back (He'll come back)

for the honey (For the honey)

and you

13- There's A Place

There is a place

Where I can go

When I feel low

When I feel blue

And it's my mind

And there's no time when I'm alone

I think of you

And things you do

Go 'round my head

The things you said

Like "I love only you"

In my mind there's no sorrow

Don't you know that it's so

There'll be no sad tomorrow

Don't you know that it's so

There is a place

Where I can go

When I feel low

When I feel blue

And it's my mind

And there's no time when I'm alone

There's a place...
