Something in the way she moves, .
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. . You know I believe and how.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about. Strawberry Fields forever.

Always know sometimes think it's me, but you know I know and it's a dream.
I think I know of thee, ah yes, but it's . That is I think I disagree.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about. Strawberry Fields forever......
