I'll Be Back/Wait (Medley) lyrics

===''===
'Wait' is a song recorded by , from their 1965 album . The songwriting credit is , and the song is usually said to be a joint effort between the two, although in the 1997 book, Many Years from Now, McCartney recalls it as entirely his.
The song was originally recorded for in June 1965 but did not make the final pressing. When Rubber Soul fell one song short for a Christmas release, 'Wait' was brought back. Overdubs were added to the initial recording so it would blend in better with the other, more recent songs on Rubber Soul.

'I'll Be Back' is primarily a composition, but credited to , and recorded by for the soundtrack to their film . This song was not released in North America until some five months on.
According to music critic , John Lennon created the song based on the chords of 's 'Runaway' which had been a UK hit in April 1961. Author wrote: 'He [Lennon] just reworked the chords of the Shannon number and came up with a completely different song'.
===The fictional 'I'll Be Back/Wait' Medley===
In 2008, C.Syde65 heard the two Beatles songs '' (1964) and '' (1965), on separate occasions. As he was unfamiliar with either of the songs at the time, when the two songs were unintentionally morphed together in his mind, he was tricked into believing that the two songs were one. Both had that 1964–5 Beatles music style, although the majority of the lyrics he had memorised were from 'Wait', while almost all of the music was from 'I'll Be Back'.
When I discovered that the two songs were different, and learnt the title of the song 'I'll Be Back' in 2008, and 'Wait' in 2009, I did my best to imagine what a medley of those two songs might have been like. With most of the music from 'I'll Be Back' and most of the lyrics from 'Wait', I put together lyrics from both of the songs. I haven't actually put these two songs together as a real medley, since I don't have anymore and anyway it wasn't really good enough for making such morphs. But here are the lyrics that I put together from the two songs:

;I'll Be Back/Wait (Medley) lyrics:
Its been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
But if your heart breaks
Don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong
Hold on, I won't delay
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
I love you so, oh
I'm the one who wants you
Yes I'm the one who wants you
Oh, ho, oh, ho, oh
You could find better things to do
Than to break my heart again
This time I will try to show that I'm
Not trying to pretend
I thought that you would realise
That if I run away from you
That you would want me to
But I got a big surprise
Oh, ho, oh, ho, oh
Its been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
I feel as though
You ought to know
That I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I'll trust in you
And know that you
Will wait for me
Its been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
Its been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh, how I've been alone

*I do not own these songs. I do not own the lyrics. Both songs '' and '' are owned by music.
*Apparently there is an alternate mix of 'Wait' without the overdubs, but seemingly without the overdubs as well. That's a good start, but I wish I could find the mix of the song that was originally intended for Help!
