I always heard it as "Never see you any other way."

I may be incredibly dense but yesterday I realised that in All You Need Is Love John sings "Yesterday" during the fadeout just before She Loves You.

Until now I'd always thought he was singing "yes it is" (not the song).

I think this lyric is not so much misheard as misspoken, but I've always liked "Too much monkey business for me to imbibe again."

I just remembered another one today...

Although the verses don't sound this way, the chorus always made me think they were playing with words again:

I WANNA BE YOUR MAN
(chorus)
I wanna be young man
I wanna be young man
I wanna be young man
I wanna be young maaaan

:lol:

On a related subject, what does John say at the start of It's All Too Much?

Sounds like "Syooo-on mo."

It's always sounded to me like "To your mo--" as if the last word was "mother." But that may just be my brain trying to make order out of chaos.
