Nod Your Head Lyrics

If you really love me baby
Better then stayin in bed
If you really love me baby, nod your head

If you really love me baby
Til you fall down dead, she said
If you ever wanna make it, nod your head

Nod it up, nod it down
Side to side, round and round

If you ever wanna prove it
Then you hang it on a thread
If you ever wanna shake it, nod your head

If you think the life your leading
Is better then the life you lead
If you like the life your livin'
Nod your head

Well nod it up, nod it down
Side to side, round and round
Round and round

If you really love me baby
Better then stayin in bed
If you really love me baby, nod your head

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Pretty good, catchy song...I know McCartney's not really known for making "rock" songs anymore, but this one works well. You know if Pearl Jam or some modern rock band like them did this it would be great. But you can't go wrong with Sir Paul.

My initial thought was this was a bit of a cheeky request for oral sex.

"if you really love me baby, nod your head".

The descriptions of exactly how he wants you to nod your head make it even more likely:

"Nod it up, nod it down, Side to side, round and round"

Also, it almost seems like it's expected as appreciation for being with Sir Paul, for being let into his lavish lifestyle:

"If you think the life your leading, Is better then the life you led... nod your head"

Lastly, I always thought the line in verse 2 said "when you're hanging by a thread" which would have been a really clever way to describe a woman on her period, and as we all have heard at one point or another, when she's on her period, then oral is the default.

I could be way off, but the visuals in this one are pretty strong.
