John Lennon (in 1972) - "That's the one song I really hate of mine. Terrible lyric."
John Lennon (in 1980) - "'It's Only Love' is mine. I always thought it was a lousy song. The lyrics are abysmal. I always hated that song."
Paul McCartney (in 1994) - "Sometimes we didn't fight it if the lyric came outu rather bland on some of those filler songs like 'It's Only Love'. If a lyric was really bad we'd edit it. But we weren't that fussy about it, because it's only a rock 'n' roll song. I mean, this is not literature."
