You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin

Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder

You have found her, now go and get her

You’re waiting for someone to perform with
And don’t you know that it’s just you, Hey Jude, you’ll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
