LOL!!!
You're just pulling my chain, right?
I've been a Beatles freak for 38 years, and trust me, without looking, those words are pure Lennon...
(But I went and looked anyway....here's a little help for you from HERE)
"Getting Better"
Song background
When Ringo fell ill in 1964, he was temporarily replaced with drummer Jimmy Nichol, who played five concerts before Ringo was well enough to return. During Nicol's tenure John and Paul constantly asked him how he was coming along, to which he always replied, "It's getting better,". Years later Hunter Davies was walking with Paul and Martha (Paul's dog) when Paul optimisticly commented about the weather, "It's getting better," then began to laugh. Davies asked what Paul was laughing about, and Paul told him that it reminded him of something, which turned out to be Nicols. The lyrics show how well the extreme contrasts of Paul's and John's writing styles compliment each other, with Paul singing "It's getting better" and "I'm doing the best that I can" and John writing "I used to be cruel to my woman" and "It couldn't get much worse".
