Hey Jude Lyrics

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey, Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your...

   I think everyone should get over the whole heroin thing!!
   Hey jude is a clasic song about John Lennon's son Julian. The song was written to help him get over the divoice of his parents. The her could be his mum because jude could think it was is mums fault or it could be Yoko.
   
   No herion.

   Ok, first off the last poster wasn't Paul. Second this song is about Lennon's son Julian (written by Paul). Third, THIS SONG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HERION. I'm sick and tired of hearing people ruin good songs like this and saying "oh man that's about drugs" sorry its not. The Beatles wrote many songs about drugs, for instance "Got to get you into my life" is an Ode to weed, but "Hey Jude" is a touching song that has no connection to drugs at all PERIOD. Enjoy!

   This song was written for Julian Lennon, when John was divorcing Cynthia. The song, that was previously named "Hey Julian", had its name changed, and John used to joke around that Paul had written it for him instead of his son.

   The song was written for Julian Lennon during John and Cynthia's divorce. Paul wrote it while he was driving up to the Lennon's. He worked out the lyrics and melody in the car and the song was practicaly finished by the time he got there. The words were later changed from Jules to Jude.

   Amen to Jenna220. I love John Lennon so much, but I, like many other people forget that he was just a regular guy and wasn't perfect.

   Paul McCartney wrote this for John Lennon's son Julian to confort him while his father (John Lennon) and his mom (Cynthia) were divorcing afer an 8 year marrige. In my opinion I really disslike John Lennon because after he divorced Cynthia he married Yoko Ono and had a son (Sean) and just forgot about his other son (Julian) and didn't pay attention to him.

   Someone said: The "her" he is refferring to is Yoko Ono who John left wife no. 1 for. Plain and simple.
   
   Well, isn't it a kind of perversion to ask one's friend's son to accept into a heart a father's new wife, after the father divorced the son's mother? And even ask it with so many repetitions? Isn't it too strange to be the explanation?

    It's about one of the band members's sons. The band member and his wife were going through a rough divorce and he's telling his son to not worry and stay strong.
