JEALOUS GUY
I was dreaming of the past and my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control, I began to lose control
I didn’t mean to hurt you, I’m sorry that I made you cry
I didn’t want to hurt you, I’m just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure – you might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside, I was shivering inside
I didn’t mean to hurt you, I’m sorry that I made you cry
I didn’t want to hurt you, I’m just a jealous guy
I was trying to catch your eyes – thought that you were trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain, I was swallowing my pain
I didn’t mean to hurt you, I’m sorry that I made you cry
I didn’t want to hurt you, I’m just a jealous guy

WOMAN
Woman, I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all, I’m forever in your debt
And woman, I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success
Oooh ooh, well well, do do do doo doo
Oooh ooh, well well, do do do doo doo
Woman, I know you understand
The little child inside the man
Please remember, my life is in your hands
And woman, hold me close to your heart
However distant don’t keep us apart
After all, it is written in the stars
Oooh ooh, well well, do do do doo doo
Oooh ooh, well well, do do do doo doo
Woman, please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again
I love you, yeah yeah, now and forever
I love you, yeah yeah, now and forever
I love you, yeah yeah, now and forever
I love you, yeah yeah, now and forever

ABOUT THE SONG
John: ‘One sunny afternoon in Bermuda, it suddenly hit me what women do for us… everything that I was taking for granted – because that’s the way we were brought up. My history of relationships with women is very poor – very macho, very stupid, but pretty typical of a certain type of man, which I was, I suppose – a very insecure, sensitive person acting out very aggressive and macho. Trying to cover up the feminine side, which I still have a tendency to do, but I’m learning. I’m learning that it’s all right to be soft and allow that side of me out. Women really are the other half of the sky, as I whisper at the beginning of the song. It’s a ‘we’ or it ain’t anything.’
ABOUT THE VIDEO
The video for ‘Woman’ was directed and edited by Yoko Ono Lennon as a tribute to John in early 1981, during a very raw time soon after John’s murder, while Yoko was still in mourning. The footage of John & Yoko together had been directed by their old friend, photographer Ethan Russell on 26 November 1980 – a sunny autumn day in Central Park in the area that would later be called ‘Strawberry Fields’ and at the Sperone Westwater Fischer Gallery at 142 Greene Street in SoHo, New York. There are further shots of a grieving Yoko (in a white fur coat or grey jacket), directed by Yoko and filmed at the Dakota and alone on the benches at Strawberry Fields in January 1981, that are combined with album covers, artwork, and a selection of photos by John, Bob Gruen, Nishi F. Saimaru, David Nutter, Kishin Shinoyama, Iain Macmillan, David Spindel, Paul Goresh and others. The video was remastered in 2003 from all the original footage and further enhanced in HD in 2019.
STAND BY ME
When the night has come and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won’t be afraid, no I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry, no I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me, oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darling, darling stand by me, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
