Lyrics
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Encouragement to Jude not to worsen the situation
Take a sad song and make it better
Advising to improve a sad situation by making it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Reminder to include someone important emotionally
Then you can start to make it better
Suggesting that after emotionally engaging, improvement can start
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
Encouragement not to be fearful
You were made to go out and get her
Stating Jude's purpose to pursue and win the person's heart
The minute you let her under your skin
Once emotionally connected, progress can start
Then you begin to make it better
After emotionally opening up, improvement initiates
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Advising Jude to resist pain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Not to burden oneself excessively
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
Highlighting the folly of pretending indifference
By making his world a little colder
Indifference can create a colder, less welcoming world
Hey Jude, don't let me down
Encouragement not to disappoint
You have found her, now go and get her
Acknowledgment of finding the person sought after
Remember to let her into your heart
Reiteration to emotionally involve that person
Then you can start to make it better
After emotional involvement, the path to improvement starts
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
Encouragement to express emotions and start acting
You're waiting for someone to perform with
Waiting for someone to collaborate with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do
Realization that oneself is capable of the required action
The movement you need is on your shoulder
The necessary action or initiative rests upon oneself
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
A repetition of earlier encouragement not to worsen things
Take a sad song and make it better
Reiterating the idea of improving a sad situation
Remember to let her under your skin
Re-emphasizing emotional involvement for progress
Then you'll begin to make it
Implying that starting emotional engagement leads to improvement
Better better better better better better, oh
An intensification of the concept of improvement
Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude
Non-verbal expression, possibly signifying encouragement or solidarity
