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.

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

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

Mr. Moonlight said
I always thought the line was “a seven”, as in rolling dice. I just Googled L7, and it does make more sense that way. 🙂
Yes, Paul commented about that line:
“‘L’ and ‘7’ put together mean ‘square’ in American jive talk: the ‘L’ had been one part of the square and the ‘7’ had formed the other part.”

I think it’s pretty cool how two of Paul’s most (argh i hate this word) iconic Beatles performances – “Let It Be “, “Long Tall Sally ” – can be such extreme opposites in every way, slow ballad and fast rocker, one reverent and one smutty…but they both manage to make good use of the name “Mary”
