This was released as a double A-side single with "Come Together." It was the only song written by George Harrison released as a single by The Beatles. They had used some of his songs as B-sides, including "The Inner Light" and "Old Brown Shoe."

Harrison wrote this during a break while they were working on The White Album. It was not recorded in time for the album, so Harrison gave this to Joe Cocker, but Cocker didn't release it until after The Beatles did.

"Something" was first released on The Beatles' 1969 album Abbey Road , released on 26 September 1969 by Apple Records.

Frank Sinatra called this "The greatest love song ever written." He often performed it in the '70s, at one point wrongly attributing it to Lennon and McCartney rather than Harrison.

Lyrics

Something in the way she moves Attracts me like no other lover Something in the way she woos me I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows That I don't need no other lover Something in her style that shows me I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how

You're asking me will my love grow I don't know, I don't know You stick around, now it may show I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she knows And all I have to do is think of her Something in the things she shows me I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how
