背景
歌曲的歌詞流露出對歌手的一個未知名的女友（歌曲中以“little girl”指代）的威脅的語氣，比如“ "I'd rather see you dead, little girl, than to be with another man.”這句歌曲的開頭是從Elvis Presley早期歌曲《Baby, Let's Play House》引用而來的。Lennon在1973年的一次訪談中將這首歌視為“least favourite Beatles song”，之後又說這是他最遺憾的創作。 也也說這首歌那時候是George Harrison最愛的《Rubber Soul》歌曲之一，雖然Lennon不喜歡它。 Lennon在《Jealous Guy》中以懺悔的形式重新涉及了這首歌的主題。

MacDonald對這首歌的主唱表現有所批評，並對歌曲的吉他有一些評論：“吉他部分，有些走調，有些相當生硬，有些blues solo過於簡單，這些說明吉他彈奏著不是Harrison而是Lennon本人。”
歌詞
Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl
than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
or I won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl
Well I know that I'm a wicked guy
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can't spend my whole life
trying just to make you toe the line
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl
Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby, I'm determined
And I'd rather see you dead
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl
I'd rather see you dead, little girl
than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
of I won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
