Ticket to Ride – Lyrics
I think I’m gonna be sad
I think it’s today, yeah
The girl that’s driving me mad
Is going away
She’s got a ticket to ride
She’s got a ticket to ride
She’s got a ticket to ride
But she don’t care
She said that living with me
Was bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free
When I was around
She’s got a ticket to ride
She’s got a ticket to ride
She’s got a ticket to ride
But she don’t care
I don’t know why she’s ridin’ so high
She oughtta think twice
She oughtta do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She oughtta think twice
She oughtta do right by me
I think I’m gonna be sad
I think it’s today, yeah
The girl that’s driving me mad
Is going away, yeah
Oh, she’s got a ticket to ride
She’s got a ticket to ride
She’s got a ticket to ride
But she don’t care
I don’t know why she’s ridin’ so high
She oughtta think twice
She oughtta do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She oughtta think twice
She oughtta do right by me
She said that living with me
Was bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free
When I was around
Oh, she’s got a ticket to ride
She’s got a ticket to ride
She’s got a ticket to ride
But she don’t care
My baby don’t care
My baby don’t care
My baby don’t care
My baby don’t care
