John and Paul wrote this when the Beatles were on the Helen Shapiro tour. They began by trading lines back and forth, so they built this one totally from scratch. The title was suggested by "From You To Us" a column in the "NME". |

| The Beatles – There's a Place Lyrics

All the stuff about dreaming and retreating into your own mind is correct. John speaks as though it's totally his song, but Paul has said that he, not John, got the idea from the song "There's A Place For Us" from West Side Story. |

| The Beatles – I Saw Her Standing There Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
|
Paul started writing this song, and he wanted to write about a girl so that their female fans could relate to it. Originally, he just had "she was just seventeen/ never been a beauty queen", but John came up with "and you know what I mean". It may also have been inspired by Iris Caldwell, the sister of Rory Storm (whose band Ringo was in before the Beatles), whom Paul had been dating. |
