Another of John's great "minimalistic" numbers (along the lines of "I Want You [She's So Heavy]"). When all John wanted to do was string some rhymes together, the results could be grating ("Dig a Pony"), but when he put his no-frills sense towards the emotions of anguished love, Beatles greatness occurred. This is one of those instances (although, IMHO, the definitive version can be found on Let It Be...Naked).
