I Saw Her Standing There - Song Lyrics

  • Written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney
  • Originally performed by The Beatles
  • The song only reached #14 on the charts
  • The band was still new to the chart scene. Although they were quite popular in Britain, they had yet to catch on in the US
  • It was only the second Top 40 hit for the group, who would go on to have a total of 52 hits reach the Top 40
  • Supposedly it was written in McCartney's living room when he and Lennon skipped school on day

Well she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another,
Ooooh, when I saw her standing there

Well she looked at me
and I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Ooooh, when I saw her standing there

Well my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Ooooh, when I saw her standing there

Well my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Ooooh, when I saw her standing there
Yeah since I saw her standing there
Yeah, well since I saw her standing there
