who does mccartney insist mostly wrote the lyrics to the beatles song "all you need is love"?
john lennon
the original version of the song was written by john lennon in the quarrymen days and considered as a follow-up to "please please me" in early 1963. a demo of this version featuring lennon and paul mccartney was recorded in 1963, but the song was not used until 1965 as ringo starr's vocal piece for "rubber soul". according to lennon, "it was resurrected with a middle eight thrown in, probably with paul's help" for "rubber soul". barry miles also claimed that mccartney and starr combined for the middle eight. there is no formal middle eight in the song, though one chorus and one verse are extended; ian macdonald believes those longer sections were written by mccartney. starr contributed to the lyrics, his first-ever composing credit on a beatles song. however, when asked what his contribution was to the song, starr jokingly stated, "about five words, and i haven't done a thing since." the first pressing of the single accidentally omitted "starkey" in the song-writing credit.
