'If You'll Permit Me' is a love song about being too polite, the girl of your dreams and four boys from Liverpool.
lyrics
Did the Beatles
Ever have trouble
Writing songs about girls
Or was it second nature
Did the problems come later
Trying to convince the world
That it ain’t a bunch of lies
That I mean it oh this time
Does singing it make me a scoundrel
I ain’t no gentleman
But I never did pretend
That I didn’t feel this way about you
If you’ll permit me
I’m asking you to dance
If you can see
It in your heart to take a chance
We can be happy
You and me
Did Paul ever hope
To have John’s Yoko
Right there in his bed
Or is it wrong
To want another
Wishing they were here instead
I ain’t that sort of guy
But I’ve had you on my mind
Does that make me a scoundrel
I ain’t no gentleman
But I never did pretend
That I didn’t feel this way about you
If you’ll permit me
I’m asking you to dance
If you can see
It in your heart to take a chance
We can be happy
You and me
