It is interesting that no one has commented on the meaning of this song yet. This is strange, as the song means totally opposite of what the lyrics apparently say!!
First thing: do NOT believe him when he says, "Oh! darling, please believe me". He's lying! And trying to cover it up!
He wants to leave her so bad (but probably does not have the guts to do it himself), that when she actually tells him she's leaving him- he's delirious.
Constant repetition of "believe me" indicates that he's lying!
The tone of the voice clearly indicates that he'd like nothing more than to harm her.
The whooping towards the end of the song on, "When you told me you didn't need me anymore" clearly indicates his sheer pleasure at her leaving him!
I suggest listening to the song with this interpretation in mind. It is one of the funniest Beatles song, on a classic album.
