Some People Never Know

Some People Never Know

No one else will ever see

how much faith you have in me,

Only fools would disagree that it's so,

Some people never know.

Like a fool I'm faraway,

ev'ry night I hope and pray

I'll be coming home to stay and it's so,

Some people never know.

Some people can sleep at nightime,

believing that love is a lie.

I'm only a person like you, love,

and who in the world can be right

all the right time.

I know I was wrong, make me right, right.

Only love can stand the test,

only you outshine the rest,

Only fools take the rest,

Only fools take second best, but it's so,

Some people never know.

About this Song

Paul McCartney's song 'Some People Never Know' reflects on the complexities of love and relationships. Through introspective lyrics, McCartney delves into themes of misunderstanding, confusion, and the pure yet intricate nature of love. He expresses a contemplative resignation to the fact that some people may never fully understand the depths of these emotions. A particularly poignant moment in the song is when McCartney repeats the line 'Some people can sleep at night-time, believing that love is a lie,' highlighting a sense of disillusionment and longing for a more profound connection.
