A silly love song from the pre-Dylan influence years. It's the type of early love song Lennon later disdained but was so superlative at composing. What makes it usual (aside from the timpani) is the way it modulates down on the word "thing." Even though the words are about celebrating the relationship, it actually gives the song a tinge of sadness. Maybe her slavish devotion is a bit smothering? George's 12 string is also great on this.
