"Hey Jude" by the Beatles

Hey Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to let her into your heart

Then you can start to make it better


Hey Jude, don't be afraid

You were made to go out and get her

The minute you let her under your skin

Then you begin to make it better


And any time you feel the pain

Hey Jude, refrain

Don't carry the world upon your shoulder

For, well, you know that it's a fool

Who plays it cool

By making his world a little colder


Na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na


Hey Jude, don't let me down

You have found her, now go and get her (let it out and let it in)

Remember (hey Jude) to let her into your heart

Then you can start to make it better

Better, better, better, better (I'm begging you), better, oh!


Na, na, na, na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na, hey Jude

Na, na, na, na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na, hey Jude

Na, na, na, na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na, hey Jude (Jude)

Na, na, na, na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na, hey Jude

(Yeah, you know you can make)

(Jude, Jude, you're not gonna break it)


Na, na, na, na-na-na-na (don't make it bad, Jude)

(Take a sad song and make it better) na-na-na-na, hey Jude

(Hey Jude, Jude, hey Jude, wow!)


Na, na, na, na-na-na-na (ooh, Jude)


Na-na-na-na, hey Jude (hey Jude)

Na, na, na, na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na, hey Jude

Na, na, na, na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na, hey Jude

Na, na, na, na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na, hey Jude
