You Like Me Too Much

1965 · Help!

“Though you've gone away this morning, you'll be back again tonight”

Harrison's second composition released by the Beatles and one of two of his on Help!, a country-tinged shuffle built on twin pianos. The track introduced Lennon on electric piano and featured George Martin doubling Lennon on the solo's grand piano.
