You're Going to Lose That Girl

"You're Going To Lose That Girl" is a song by the Beatles from the album Help!, written by John Lennon (and credited to Lennon-McCartney) for the film Help!. Capitol Records originally titled the song "You're Gonna Lose That Girl" in the United States. In the film, the group appears singing this song in the recording studio. (In addition to the group's familiar guitar-and-drum setup, there is also footage of Paul McCartney at a piano and Ringo Starr playing the bongos.)

The lyrics feature the singer assuring a friend that if he does not take care of his girl, the singer will do it instead of him. The song has an unusual key change - the chorus and verses are in E major, but during the bridge the key shifts to G major, the relative major of the parallel minor.

In November 1977, Capitol Records scheduled the release of "Girl" backed with "You're Gonna Lose That Girl" as a single (Capitol 4506) to accompany the release of Love Songs, a compilation album which contained both songs. However, the single was cancelled before it was issued.

Lyrics

You're going to lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're going to lose that girl)
You're going to lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're going to lose that girl)

If you don't take her out tonight
she's going to change her mind
(she's gonna change her mind)
And I will take her out tonight
And I will treat her kind
(I'm gonna treat her kind)

You're going to lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're going to lose that girl)
You're going to lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're going to lose that girl)

If you don't treat her right, my friend
You're going to find her gone
(You're gonna find her gone)
'Cause I will treat her right and then
You'll be the lonely one
(You're not the only one)

You're going to lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're going to lose that girl)
You're going to lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're going to lose that girl)
You're going to lose
(Yes, yes, you're going to lose that girl)

I'll make a point of taking her away from you
(That's what to do)
Yeah, the way you treat her, what else can I do

You're going to lose that girl
You're going to lose that girl

You're going to lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're going to lose that girl)
You're going to lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're going to lose that girl)
You're going to lose

I'll make a point of taking her away from you
(That's what to do)
Yeah, the way you treat her, what else can I do

If you don't take her out tonight
she's going to change her mind
(She's gonna change her mind)
And I will take her out tonight
And I will treat her kind
(I'm gonna treat her kind)

You're going to lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're going to lose that girl)
You're going to lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're going to lose that girl)
You're going to lose that girl
