Lyrics
It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
Expresses exhaustion from a challenging day of work.
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
Reflects a desire for restful sleep after a tiring day.
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Finding comfort and joy in the actions of a loved one upon returning home.
Will make me feel alright
The actions of the loved one make everything feel okay and alleviate the stress of the day.
You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
Highlighting the effort put into earning money for the partner.
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
The joy derived from the partner's promise to provide everything in return.
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
Questioning the need to complain when being with the loved one makes everything okay.
You know I feel OK
Expressing contentment and well-being when alone with the loved one.
When I'm home everything seems to be right
Feeling that everything is right when at home.
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight
Emphasizing the comforting embrace of the partner at home.
It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
Reiteration of the challenging nature of the day's work.
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
Reiteration of the desire for restful sleep after a hard day.
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Revisiting the positive impact of the partner's actions on well-being.
Will make me feel alright, ow
Reaffirmation that the partner's actions make everything feel alright.
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
Questioning the need to complain when being alone with the loved one is satisfying.
You know I feel OK

When I'm home everything seems to be right
