Paul McCartney and Wings, “Beware My Love”

Great song from Paul McCartney and Wings, “Beware My Love”, Wings at the Speed of Sound, 1975.

This came after Band on the Run, one of the greatest albums of the 20th Century. McCartney’s solo career started out pretty well. Linda sang along with him, and he soon got an excellent band together called Wings. Most of the first 4-5 albums from 1970-1975 were excellent. Nobody talks about them anymore, but at the time, Paul McCartney and the Wings were one of the most popular bands in rock and roll.

I vaguely remember this song from back in the old days. I heard it again recently and checked out. Sure enough, it’s awesome.

Can’t say I’ve found out
I can’t tell you
What it’s all about
Don’t know who does
Tell you to

Beware my love
Beware my love
Beware my love
Beware my love
Beware my love
Beware my love

Oh, oh, oh
No, no, no
I must be wrong, baby, yeah

But I don’t believe
That he’s the one
But you insist
I must be wrong
I must be wrong

I have to leave
And when I’m gone
I’ll leave my message
In my song
That’s right

Beware my love
Well, he’ll bowl you over
Beware my love
Before you’re much older

Hey, he’ll sweep you up
Under his carpet
You’d be in luck
If you could stop it

Come on now
Beware my love

Let me tell you

Well, he’ll wear you out
And in a minute
You’ll hear a shout
And then you’ll be in it

So, so now beware my love
‘Cause he’ll take you under
Beware my love
The sound of his thunder
Yeah!

I don’t believe
That he’s the one
But if you insist
I must be wrong
I must be wrong

But I have to leave
And when I’m gone
I’ll leave my message
In my song
That’s where I’m gonna leave it, baby

Come on

Beware my love
Don’t you know
He’ll bowl you over
Beware my love
Before you’re much older

He’s gonna
Yeah, he’s gonna wear you out
When in a minute
You’ll hear a shout
And then you’ll be in it

Baby gonna be there
Yeah, beware
Yeah, I’ll be there
Oh baby, beware
Beware, beware, my love
Yeah, any minute, oh

I don’t know
If I can stand it anymore
‘Cause I’m just gonna say to you
My love, that you better be there

Can’t say
I’ve found out
I tell you to
Beware my love
Beware my love
