It Won't Be Long

(Lennon/McCartney)

Song background
Written as a followup single to "She Loves You", the song "never really made it", according to John. The song deals with waiting for a young man's love interest to be his, although many (including former girlfriend Thelma McGough) feel the song deals with the departure of John's mother and father.
