"You Want To Give Your Love Away
And End Up Giving Nothing
I'm Not Surprised, That Your Black Eyes
Are Gazing."
I think this is reflective of John's personality... anyone familiar with John could see that.
"You Say That Love Is Everything
And What We Need The Most Of
I Wish You Knew, That's Just How True
My Love Was."
Do I smell an "All You Need is Love" reference?
"You're Burning Love, Sweet Burning Love"
Hmm. "Burning Love" by Elvis Presley. Elvis is one of those artists whose music provided the initial basis of John and Paul's relationship. Seems important.
"You Want To Turn Your Head Away
And Someone's Thinking Of You
I Wish You'd See, It's Only Me,
I Love You."
I think this verse is the most telling. It tells about John pulling away from the group and, more importantly, his intimate relationship with Paul, yet Paul continues to care about him.
classicrockgirl, I agree that the "it's only me" line is enormously significant. Paul has shared that story many times, and once when asked what it meant to him, he replied "everything." therefore, Paul must have held the phrase dearly, and wouldn't have just thrown it out in a song without it being a conscious decision to use those specific words. It was a message to John, to let him know that he hadn't forgotten what they meant to each other, that he still loved him and always would.
"I Wish You'd See, It's Only Me, I Love You."
Paul said when John and him were arguing and it was getting too heated John would stop and pull his glasses down and look him in the eye and say "It's only me". I think that Paul wanted to give Denny some writing credit ($$) and to keep people of the trail. Can't have people wondering just how many songs are about John, you know.

"You Want To Give Your Love Away
And End Up Giving Nothing"
Paul to John about Yoko
"You Want To Give Your Love Away
And End Up Giving Nothing"
Paul to John about Yoko
"I'm Not Surprised, That Your Black Eyes
Are Gazing."
I almost want to say this part is Yoko, she did lots a poker faced gazing at the Beatles in the studio. Paul is not surprised that Yoko looks at them like she knows everything.

I definitely think this is a song about John.

Perfect. I agree.
