"Girl" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1965 album Rubber Soul. It was written by John Lennon[3][4] and credited to Lennon–McCartney. "Girl" was the last complete song recorded for that album.[5][6] "Girl" is considered to be one of the most melancholic and complex of the Beatles' earlier love songs.[7]
