This Boy
That boy took my love away,
He'll regret it someday,
But this boy wants you back again.
That boy isn't good for you,
Tho' he may want you too,
This boy wants you back again.
Oh, and this boy would be happy,
Just to love you, but oh my-yi-yi-yi,
That boy won't be happy,
Till he's seen you cry-hi-hi-hi.
This boy wouldn't mind the pain,
Would always feel the same,
If this boy gets you back again.
This boy. This boy. this boy.
"This Boy" is a song by The Beatles composed by John Lennon,[1] and was first released in November 1963 as the B-side of the UK Parlophone single "I Want to Hold Your Hand". The Beatles performed it live on 16 February 1964 for their second Ed Sullivan Show appearance in the USA.
Its composition was an attempt by John Lennon at writing a song in the style of Motown star Smokey Robinson, specifically his song "I've Been Good To You", which has similar circular doo-wop chord changes, melody and arrangement, and Paul McCartney cites The Teddy Bears 1959 hit “To Know Him Is To Love Him” as also being influential.[2] Lennon, McCartney, and George Harrison join together to sing an intricate three-part close harmony in the verses and refrain (originally, the middle eight was a conceived as a guitar solo, but altered during the recording process)[3] and a similar song writing technique is exercised in later Beatles songs, such as "Yes It Is" and "Because".
An instrumental version of "This Boy", orchestrated by George Martin, is used as the incidental music during Ringo Starr's towpath scene in the film A Hard Day's Night. The piece, under the title, "Ringo's Theme (This Boy)" was released as a single - but failed to chart in the UK - on 7 August 1964 with “And I Love Her” on the B Side, although it did reach #53 in the American Top 100 later that year. It was also included on Martin’s Parlophone album “Off The Beatle Track” and the EP “Music From A Hard Day’s Night” by the George Martin Orchestra, released 19 February 1965. It was also included on the American A Hard Day's Night soundtrack album.
