I Want To Tell You
The Beatles
Written by George Harrison; released on "Revolver" album.

A song about the feeling that you want to tell many important things to 
somebody who's important to you (probably a girl), but you can't, because 
when She's there, all your words "seem to slip away". It's a great song, one 
more reason to like George :-)
