	I have always enjoyed this song. A typical Paul McCartney singalong. Although written and recorded in a single day, it sounds like one of the songs that got more attention. The song is like a prediction of things to come in the near future. Linda's harmonies are alright during the chorus. Her reflecting during the verse tho (at 0.55 'alone') is awful. Is that an edit at 0.59, or is Paul just looking for the right chord? Bass is once again plain simple but effective as ever. The steelguitar sounding solo (1.37) is great. It goes on into the verse and chorus after that. Is that another bad edit at 2.27?	Bobber	April 19, 2012

	Paul tells his new wife that he loves her in a lot of ways in this album, including this rather humorous "hick" performance. Adding to this song's charm is the erstwhile photographer Linda, very timidly and nervously chirping some backing vocals for what must have been the first time for her.

Lyrics

Man we was lonely
Yes we was lonely
And we was hard pressed to find a smile.

Man we was lonely
Yes we was lonely
But now were fine all the while.

I used to ride on my fast city line
Singing songs that I thought were mine alone
Now let me lie with my love for the time I am home.

Man we was lonely
Yes we was lonely
And we was hard pressed to find a smile.

Man we was lonely
Yes we was lonely
But now were fine all the while.

Now let me lie with my love for the time I am home.

Man we was lonely
Yes we was lonely
And we was hard pressed to find a smile.

Man we was lonely
Yes we was lonely
But now were fine all the while
But now were fine all the while
But now were fine all the while.
