“So How Come (No One Loves Me)” is a song written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant and originally recorded by the Everly Brothers for their fourth album, “A Date with the Everly Brothers,” in 1960.
According to Mark Lewisohn in “The Complete Beatles Chronicle“, The Beatles performed “So How Come (No One Loves Me)” regularly between 1961 and 1962, with George Harrison on lead vocals. However, no known recordings from that period exist.
The Beatles recorded a version on July 10, 1963, for the “Pop Go the Beatles” radio show, with George on lead vocals. It was released on the album “Live At The BBC” in 1994.
They say that everyone wants someone
So how come no one wants me?
Then they say that everyone needs someone
So how come no one needs me?
Well if you wonder who the loneliest creatures in the world can be
Well they're the ugly ducklings, the little black sheep and me
They say that everyone loves someone
So how come no one loves me?
Well if you wonder who the loneliest creatures in the world can be
Well they're the ugly ducklings, the little black sheep and me
They say that everyone loves someone
So how come no one loves me?
So how come no one loves me?
So how come no one loves me?
