Average song rating In spite of Paul's liberal output of songs which speak so glowingly of his loving wife's qualities ("The Lovely Linda", "Long-Haired Lady", "My Love", "Letting Go", "She's My Lady", etc.), poor Linda underwent some years of scathing public criticism from some pretty insensitive folk. I imagine that this song is Paul's justifiably angry rebuttal of those attacks. Bruce Beatlefan November 18, 2006

Lyrics

It's not true!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's not true!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's not true!

Some people say she's a bad girl,
Some people think she's a fool,
Some people tell me she's no good,
But I'm telling you,
It's not true, it's not true, it's not true.

They say that my girl's a mad girl,
No saying what she may do.
Some people tell me she's crazy,
But I'm telling you,
It's not true, it's not true, it's not true.

It's not true!

Ooh, ooh, ooh, they've been talking to the fellas,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, have they never heard of jealousy?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, if she helps me write the melody,
I'll let the words take care of themselves.

It's not true, it's not true, it's not true.

It's not true!

Ooh, ooh, ooh, they've been talking to the fellas,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, have they never heard of jealousy?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, if she helps me make the memories,
I'll let the words take care of themselves.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Some people say she's a loser,
Some people tell me that she's through.
Some people say I don't love her,
But I'm telling you,
It's not true, it's not true, it's not true.
What they're saying about her isn't true.

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo,
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo,
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Don't you know it isn't
True!
True! Oh, no, no, no, no.
True!
True! Oh, it isn't.
True!
True! Oh, it's not true!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

It's not true!
Ev'ry word has been a lie, lie, lie, lie-
It's not true!
But what about all those lies about my baby?
It's not true!
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's not true!
Oh no! Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's not true!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's not true!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's not true!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's not true!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's not true!

Oh, oh, oh, oh.
