"Strawberry Fields" is a song created by The Beatles that Melanie Martinez covered. The cover was recorded during the sessions of her debut studio album, Cry Baby, however, it was later scrapped.

The full cover was leaked on September 12, 2018, and the demo leaked on March 1, 2022.

Theme[]

"Strawberry Fields Forever" was written as an homage to John Lennon's childhood in Liverpool. He often described it as one of his most personal songs and was hesitant to sing it at first.

Lyrics[]

[Chorus]
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
Nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

[Verse 1]
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me

[Chorus]
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
Nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

[Verse 2]
No one, I think, is in my tree
I mean, it must be high or low
That is, you can't, you know, tune in
But it's all right
That is, I think it's not too bad

[Chorus]
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
Nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

[Verse 3]
Always know, sometimes think it's me
But you know, I know when it's a dream
I think a "no," I mean a "yes"
But it's all wrong
That is, I think I disagree

[Chorus]
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
Nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

[Outro]
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever

[Chorus]
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
Nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

[Verse 1]
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me

[Chorus]
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
Nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

[Verse 2]
No one, I think, is in my tree
I mean, it must be high or low
That is, you can't, you know, tune in
But it's all right
That is, I think it's not too bad

[Chorus]
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
Nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

[Verse 3]
Always know, sometimes think it's me
But you know, I know when it's a dream
I think a "no," I mean a "yes"
But it's all wrong
That is, I think I disagree

[Chorus]
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
Nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

[Outro]
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
