Souvenir

Song byPaul McCartney

in AlbumFlaming Pie

When you're fed up shedding too many tears

And you're memories seem like just so many souvenirs

I will come to you to ease the pain

If you want me, tell me now

If I can be of any help, tell me how

Let me love you like a friend

Everything is gonna come right in the end

When you're crying like a poor little child

And you're feeling like you never could be reconciled

Don't forget a word of what I'm saying

If you want me, tell me now

If I can be of any help, tell me how

Let me love you like a friend

Everything is gonna come right in the end

Well, I can hold you too tight

I could never let you go

But that wouldn't be right

So, why don't you let me know (let me know)

What you want to do

Everybody's got a handful of fear

But tomorrow it may only be a souvenir

Of the way it was `til it went away

If you want me, tell me now

If I can be of any help, tell me how

Let me love you like a friend

Every little thing is gonna come right in the end

Well, I can hold you too tight

I could never let you go

But that wouldn't be right

So, why don't you let me know

What you want to do

If you want me, tell me now

If I can be of any help, tell me how

Let me love you like a friend

Every little thing is gonna come right in the end

Souvenir

No, not another souvenir

No, no, no, no, no souvenir
