Ask Me Why The Beatles Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney; released on single "Please Please Me / Ask Me Why" and on "Please Please Me" album The B-side song of their second single. They originally wanted it to the A-side, but they were told that it wouldn't be a "hit". But I think this one is a better song than "Please Please Me" (of course, I don't want to say that the other one is bad). Its lyrics are so sweet, explaining to the beloved how happy you are just to be with Her, crying because of your happiness, etc. A wonderful love song, I'm surprised that later it didn't get on to the "Love Songs" album. And Paul plays a very fine bassline, I especially like it in the bridges.
