🎵 Hey Jude — Full 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 skin
Then you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na

Hey Jude, don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
(Let it out and let it in)
Remember (hey Jude) to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, yeah

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it
Better, better, better, better, better, better, oh

📖 Song Background & Meaning

"Hey Jude" was written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. It began as "Hey Jules," a message of comfort to John Lennon's son Julian during his parents' divorce. The song evolved into a universal message of encouragement — take a sad moment and turn it into something better, and trust yourself to act.

Musically, the record is notable for:

Its long, singalong coda of repeated "na-na-na" lines.
A production that grows from intimate piano and voice to a big, communal chant.
A landmark single for Apple Records, and one of the Beatles' most enduring anthems.
