In 1970, McCartney had this line in Maybe I’m Amazed  

maybe I’m amazed at the way you…right me when I’m wrong

Then in 2013 in the song Alligator, he revisits this theme of needing his love to try to keep him on the straight and narrow.

I want someone who can bail me
When I get up to my tricks
I need somebody used to
Dealing with a sinner
Whenever I get in a fix

I think he needs some time on the Beatles Bible therapy sofa. LOL. ahdn_john_08_gif

With the Beatles (and on that album), Lennon cries 

You hurt me then, you’re back again
No, no, no, Not A Second Time

But many years later on a solo album, when shoe is on the other foot, he begs

You don’t know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby gimme one more chance

Another example. 

And when I hurt you and called you names

Daring I promise I won’t do it again

McCartney saying he’s changed his ways…

1997

Well, the way you treat me darling
Made me understand
Never quit you baby
I’m gonna Love You To the end
Yeah, I used to be bad
But I ain’t gonna be bad no more

Then 21 years later in 2018

I sat around all day
I used to get stoned
I liked to get wasted
But these days I don’t

I walked around angry
I used to feel bad
But nowadays my days
Don’t have to be sad

I used to drink too much
Forgot to come home
I lied to my doctor
But these days I don’t

‘cos I’m happy, with you

In 1968, John had his “pools of sorrow” and Paul had his “pool of tears”…both songs were written that year.

I think we need a group hug before I start crying.

Good point, @Ahhh Girl ! 

The Beatles also give each other demands and suggestions across their discography;

Can You Take Me Back? Can’t Buy Me Love, Can’t You See? We Can Work It Out, You Can’t Do That, That is you can’t you know, tune in but it’s all right.
