Finish The Lyric: "I think I'm gonna be sad"?

The lyric “I think I’m gonna be sad” is followed by “I think it’s today, yeah.” The line comes from “Ticket to Ride,” performed by the Beatles and released in 1965.

The song was written primarily by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, with George Martin producing the recording. Its lyrics describe a narrator reacting to a woman who is leaving, while the driving rhythm and prominent drums give the song a restless, unsettled feeling. “Ticket to Ride” became one of the Beatles’ major mid-1960s hits and reached No. 1 in both the United Kingdom and the United States.

A common quiz mix-up is answering with the song title rather than the next lyric. “Ticket to Ride” is the correct title, but the requested continuation is the short phrase about the narrator expecting a sad day. The song also helped mark the Beatles’ transition from their earlier pop sound toward the more musically adventurous style heard later in 1965 and beyond.
