Lyrics:

The eighth track of The Beatles' album Rubber Soul, “What Goes On” is the first song in which Ringo receives songwriting credits, as well as the only song ever credited to Lennon-McCartney-Starkey.
What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearin' me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind?

The other day I saw you (Ooh)
As I walked along the road (Ooh)
But when I saw him with you (Ooh)
I could feel my future fold (Ooh)
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tell me why

What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearin' me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind?

I met you in the morning (Ooh)
Waiting for the tides of time (Ooh)
But now the tide is turning (Ooh)
I can see that I was blind (Ooh)
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tell me why
What goes on in your heart?


I used to think of no one else (Ooh)
But you were just the same (Ooh)
You didn't even think of me (Ooh)
As someone with a name (Ooh)
Did you mean to break my heart and watch me die? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tell me why

What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind?
(In your mind, in your mind)
