RINGO 1966: 'I contributed about five words to 'What Goes On.' (laughs) And I haven't done a thing since!'JOHN 1972: 'A very early song of mine.
Ringo and Paul wrote a new middle-eight together when we recorded it.'JOHN 1980: 'That was an early Lennon, written before the Beatles when we were the Quarrymen or something like that.
And resurrected with a middle-eight thrown in, probably with Paul's help, to give Ringo a song… and also to use the bits, because I never liked to waste anything.'

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?The other day I saw you
As I walked along the road
But when I saw him with you
I could feel my future fold
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me whyWhat 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?I met you in the morning
Waiting for the tides of time
But now the tide is turning
I can see that I was blind
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me whyWhat goes on in your heart?I used to think of no one else
But you were just the same
You didn't even think of me
As someone with a name
Did you mean to break my heart and watch me die
Tell me whyWhat 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?
What goes on in your mind?
