COMMENTS BY BEATLES
LENNON: "That's the one song I really hate of mine. Terrible lyric." Hit Parader (April 1972)
McCARTNEY: "Sometimes we didn't fight it if the lyric came out rather bland on some of those filler songs like 'It's Only Love'. If a lyric was really bad we'd edit it, but we weren't that fussy about it, because, it's only a rock 'n' roll song. I mean, this is not literature." Paul McCartney: Many Years from Now
