<P> While in Paris , the Beatles stayed at the five star George V hotel and had an upright piano moved into one of their suites so that song writing could continue . It was here that McCartney wrote `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' . The song was written under the pressure of the success achieved by `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' which had just reached number one in America . When producer George Martin first heard `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' he felt the song needed changing : `` I thought that we really needed a tag for the song 's ending , and a tag for the beginning ; a kind of intro . So I took the first two lines of the chorus and changed the ending , and said ' Let 's just have these lines , and by altering the second phrase we can get back into the verse pretty quickly . ' '' And they said , `` That 's not a bad idea , we 'll do it that way '' . The song 's verse is a twelve bar blues in structure , a formula that the Beatles seldom applied to their own material . </P>
