I saw Her Standing There

'I Saw Her Standing There' was recorded in a 15-hour session in Feb 1963. The '1-2-3-4' intro was added to give the impression of a raw Liverpool beat group captured in a live performance. It was originally titled 'Seventeen' which told a story of a boy who sees a girl dancing at a local ballroom. After deciding that 'her look is beyond compare', determines not to dance with anyone else again.

Lyrics1 - 2 - 3 - 4 !

Well, she was just 17,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
When I saw her standin' 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 (whooh)
When I saw her standin' there.

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

Well, 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 (whooh)
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 (whooh)
Since I saw her standing there 3x
