Paul McCartney - McCartney II Lyrics






Coming Up

You want a love to last forever
One that will never fade away
I want to help you with your problem
Stick around, I say

Coming up, ooh, coming up, yeah
Coming up like a flower
Coming up, I say, ooh

You want a friend you can rely on
One who will never fade away
And if you're searching for an answer
Stick around, I say

Coming up, ooh, coming up
Coming up like a flower
Coming up, yeah

You want some peace and understanding
So everybody can be free
I know that we can get together
We can make it, stick with me

It's coming up, ooh, coming up
Coming up like a flower
(Coming up) coming up for you and me

Coming up, coming up
Coming up, coming up, I say
Coming up like a flower
Coming up
I feel it in my bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You want a better kind of future
One that everyone can share
You're not alone, we all could use it
Stick around, we're nearly there

It's coming up, ooh, it's coming up everywhere
Coming up like a flower
Coming up, for all to share
Coming up, yeah
Coming up, anyway
Coming up like a flower
Coming up

Temporary Secretary

Mister Marks Can You Find For Me
Someone Strong And Sweet Fitting On My Knee
She Can Keep Her Job If She Gets It Wrong
Ah, But Mister Marks I Won't Need Her Long
All I Need Is Help For A Little While
We Can Take Dictation And Learn To Smile
And A Temporary Secretary Is What I Need For To Do The Job

I Need A
Temporary Secretary, Temporary Secretary
Temporary Secretary, Temporary Secretary

Mister Marks Could You Send Her Quick
'Cause My Regular Has Been Getting Sick

I Need A
Temporary Secretary, Temporary Secretary

Mister Marks I Can Pay Her Well
If She Comes Along And Can Stay A Spell
I Will Promise Now That I'll Treat Her Right
And Will Rarely Keep Her 'Til Late At Night

I Need A ..

She Can Be A Belly Dancer
I Don't Need A Need Romancer
She Can Be A Diplomat
But I Don't Need A Girl Like That
She Can Be A Neurosurgeon
If She's Doin' Nothing' Urgent
What I Need's A Temporary, Temporary Secretary
I Need A, I Need A
Temporary Secretary. Temporary Secretary
Temporary Secretary, Temporary Secretary
Temporary Secretary, Temporary Secretary

Now Mister Marks When I Send Her Back
Will You Please Make Sure She Stays On The Right Track

Spoken: Well I Know How Hard It Is For Young Girls These Days In The Face Of Everything To Stay On
The Right Track

What I Need's A Temporary, Temporary Secretary
Temporary Secretary I Need A /
Temporary Secretary, Temporary Secretary,
Temporary Secretary I Need A
Temporary Secretary. Temporary Secretary,
Temporary Secretary.

On The Way

Well You Know I'll Always Love You
But It Would Have Been A Lie
If I Said That I Could Please You
Every Moment That I Try

Wouldn't Want To See You Crying
So L Hope You Don't Mind
The Things I Say
On The Way

Well We've Been Traveling For A Long Time
And We Finally Finished Here
Though I Said Some Things To Hurt You
Well It Was Only Out Of Fear

Wouldn't Want To See You Crying
So L Hope You Don't Mind
The Things I Say
On The Way

Well You Know I'll Always Love You
Everything Will Be Alright
If I Know You Don't Mind
The Things I Say
On The Way

Well You Know I'll Always Love You
Everything Will Be Ok
If I Know You Don't Mind
The Things I Say
On The Way

Waterfalls

Don't Go Jumping Waterfalls
Please Keep To The Lake
People Who Jump Waterfalls
Sometimes Cam Make Mistakes

And I Need Love, Yeah I Need Love
Like A Second Needs An Hour
Like A Raindrop Needs A Shower
Yeah I Need Love Every Minute Of The Day
And It Wouldn't Be The Same
If You Ever Should Decide To Go Away

And I Need Love, Yeah I Need Love
Like A Castle Needs A Tower
Like A Garden Needs A Flower
Yeah I Need Love Every Minute Of The Day
And It Wouldn't Be The Same
If You Ever Should Decide To Go Away

Don't Go Chasing Polar Bears
In The Great Unknown
Some Big Friendly Polar Bear
Might Want To Take You Home

And I Need Love, Yeah I Need Love
Like A Second Needs An Hour
Like A Raindrop Needs A Shower
Yeah I Need Love Every Minute Of The Day
And It Wouldn't Be The Same
If You Ever Should Decide To Go Away

Don't Run After Motor Cars
Please Stay On The Side
Someone's Glossy Motor Car
Might Take You For A Ride

And I Need Love, Yeah I Need Love
Like A Castle Needs A Tower
Like A Garden Needs A Flower
Yeah I Need Love, Said I Need Love
Like A Raindrop Needs A Shower
Like A Second Needs An Hour
Every Minute Of The Day
And It Wouldn't Be The Same
If You Ever Should Decide To Go Away

Don't Go Jumping Waterfalls
Please Keep To The Lake

Nobody Knows

That Nobody Knows, No Nobody Knows

Which One Of You Can Tell Me
What Is Is I'm Looking At
Anyone Who Can
Has Got To Be A Crazy Cat
'Cause I Believe That
That Nobody Knows, No Nobody Knows
Yeah, Nobody Knows, No
Lord I Cannot Tell You
Well That's The Way I Like It
Yeah Now, Nobody Knows

Nobody Knows
Oh, Nobody Knows
Well Lord You Know That Nobody Knows

Samson And Delilah Would Have Made A Crazy Pair
If The Silly Woman Hadn't Shaven Off His Hair
I Believe That Nobody Knows, Yeah, Nobody Knows
But That's The Way I Like It
Yeah Now, Nobody Knows
That's The Way I Like It, Nobody Knows

I May Go Hungry, Maybe Next Week
Well If I Do Then I'll Still Find Something To Eat
And You Know, Nobody Knows, No Nobody Knows
Well That's The Way I Like It, Baby, Nobody Knows

And That Includes You, Honey (Nobody Knows)
I'll Pay Your Rent
I'll Do You Right (Nobody Knows)
Most Every Night
But Still There's Nobody Knows
No Now, Nobody Knows
And That's The Way I Like To Keep It
Just So Nobody Knows

Bogey Music

Everybody bogey
Dig that bogey beat
Man that bogey rhythm
Smells so clean and sweet
Everybody bogey
Bogey on to the street
Without bogey music
Life is incomplete
Without bogey music
Life is incomplete

Everybody bogey
Dig that bogey beat

If you little bogeys
Want to sing along
Clean your bogey act up
And learn the bogey song
Without bogey music
Life is incomplete
Without bogey music
Life is incomplete

Bogey music, bogey music
Bogey music, bogey music

Alright, here we are now
Tonight in bogey land

Bogey music, bogey music
Well, when the younger bogeys
Here that bogey sound
Every little bogey
Got to bogey down
Bogey man bogey
Bogey man bogey
Bogey man bogey on down
Bogey music, bogey music, bogey music
Bogey music, bogey music, bogey music
Bogey music / Bogey man bogey on down
Bogey music

All you little bogeys
I want you to sing along
Clean your bogey act up
And learn the bogey song
Without bogey music
Life is incomplete
You know, it is...suckers
Bogey music, bogey music
Bogey music, bogey music

One Of These Days
When My Feet Are On The Ground
I'm Gonna Look Around And See

See What's Right, See What's There
And Breathe Fresh Air, Ever After

One Of These Days
When A Job Just Takes Too Long
I'm Gonna Sing My Song And See

See What's Right, See What's There
And Breathe Fresh Air, Ever After

It's There, It's Round
It's To Be Found
By You, By Me
It's All We Ever Wanted To Be

One Of These Days
When We Both Are At Our Ease
When You've Got Time To Please, Yourself

See What's Right And See What's There
And Breathe Fresh Air, Ever After

It's There, It's Round
It's To Be Found

It's All We Ever Wanted To See

Secret Friend

Feel like you've never fit before

Here we are
Where are we
Cast adrift on some uncharted sea
I know we'll find our way
I know we'll reach the end
If you will say you'll be my secret friend

Night draws in once again
As she turns her velvet collar up
A perfect day will end
If you will say you'll be my secret friend

Feel like you've never felt before
Once more

Night draws in once again
As she turns her velvet collar up
A perfect day will end
If you will say you'll be my secret friend

Feel like you've never felt before
Once more

Here we are
Where are we
Cast adrift on some uncharted sea
I know we'll find our way
If you will say you'll be my secret friend

Feel like you've never felt before
Once more

I need ya
I need ya
I need ya
I need ya

Night draws in once again
As she turns her velvet collar up
A perfect day will end
If you will say you'll be my secret friend

Feel like you've never felt before
Once more

Here we are
Where are we
Cast adrift on some uncharted sea
I know we'll find our way
I know we'll reach the end
If you will say you'll be my secret friend

I need ya
I need ya
I need ya

Goodnight Tonight

Don't get too tired for love
Don't let it end
Don't say goodnight to love
It may never be the same again

Don't say it
Don't say it
Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight

Don't say it
Don't say it
Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight

Don't say it
Don't say it
You can say anything but don't say goodnight tonight

Don't say it
Don't say it
Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight

Don't say it
Don't say it
Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight

Don't get too tired for love
Don't let it end
Don't say goodnight to love
It's a feeling that may never end

Don't say it
Don't say it
Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight

Don't say it
Don't say it
Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight

Don't say it
Don't say it
You can say anything but don't say goodnight tonight

McCartney II is the second solo studio album by the English musician Paul McCartney, released on 16 May 1980. It was recorded by McCartney at his home studio in the summer of 1979, shortly before the dissolution of his band Wings in 1981. Like his debut solo studio album, McCartney (1970), he performed all the instruments himself. It yielded three singles: "Coming Up", "Waterfalls", and "Temporary Secretary".

The album was a significant departure for McCartney, as much of it relies heavily on synthesizers and studio experimentation, while its music style embraces new wave and elements of electronica. It was initially released to largely unfavourable reviews by critics, though retrospective reception has been more positive and the album has become a cult favourite. In 2011, an expanded edition of McCartney II was issued with over a dozen bonus tracks. In 2020, the album was succeeded by McCartney III. In 2022, the trilogy was reissued in the McCartney I II III box set.
