"Girl" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1965 album Rubber Soul. It was written by John Lennon [3] [4] and credited to Lennon–McCartney. "Girl" was the last complete song recorded for that album. [5] [6] "Girl" is considered to be one of the most melancholic and complex of the Beatles' earlier love songs. [7]
The song's lyrics establish a threatening tone towards the singer's unnamed girlfriend (referred to throughout the song as "little girl"), claiming "I'd rather see you dead, little girl, than to be with another man." The line was taken from an early Elvis Presley song, "Baby Let's Play House" (written by Arthur Gunter). [2] [3]
