屋頂的Lennon
《Getting Better》時期發生了一件關於Lennon的事件。1967年3月21日,George Martin正在給《Lovely Rita》加上鋼琴獨奏,Lennon抱怨自己身體感覺不是很好,沒有辦法集中注意力。 原來他之前準備服用興奮劑卻誤服了LSD。 Martin沒有發現他誤服藥物便把Lennon帶到Abbey Road錄音室的屋頂呼吸新鮮空氣,然後自己就回到了McCartney和Harrison正處的Studio Two。他們知道Lennon感覺不好,聽到Lennon在哪兒後,跑到屋頂並幫Lennon恢復正常,阻止了一次可能的事故。

歌詞
It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school
The teachers that taught me weren't cool
You're holding me down
Turning me round
filling me up with the rules
I've got to admit it's getting better
a little better all the time
I have to admit it's getting better
it's getting better since you've been mine
Me used to be angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word
I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can
I've got to admit it's getting better
a little better all the time
I have to admit it's getting better
it's getting better since you\'ve been mine
getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time
better, better, better
It's getting better all the time
better, better, better
I used to be cruel to my woman I beat her
and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man, I was mean but I'm changing my scene
and I'm doing the best that I can
I've got to admit it's getting better
a little better all the time
Yes, admit it's getting better
it's getting better since you've been mine
getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time
better, better, better
It's getting better all the time
better, better, better
Getting so much better all the time
