I can see why Paul was shitty with Spector but really, it is a fairly dull tune.

When I was in middle school one of our English textbooks had the lyrics to this as an example of poetry and I was remember thinking "really? that's the Beatles song you pick?"

Something like For No One or Blackbird is beautiful.

Winding Road and I Dig a Pony are both kinda boring but it's saying a lot when these are the two worst songs on the album. I've always thought Let It Be is one of the most underrated albums of all time. The lesser known songs are all pretty much awesome. I'd rather listen to this than Sgt. Pepper any day.

I like schmaltzy by earnest artists just fine (Cat Stevens' Randy comes to mind), and pooping on anything from Let it Be is old hat, but Paul has a lot of beautiful songs better than this one.

Some of Lennon's worst lyrics.
The last minute kind of redeems the song, though.
