Beatles lyric range from innocuous to clever, but age well considering they are 40 and 50 years old.

One that doesn’t is “Getting Better”.

A pleasant Paul led tune musically but how about “I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loves.”

Yikes. And then “Man I was mean but I’m changing my scene and I’m doing the best that I can.”

The notion of the narrator getting better isn’t quite enough to overcome what he is getting better from.
