The song, while credited to "Lennon/McCartney" (as were all Beatles songs by either composer), was primarily a John Lennon composition. Reflecting his negative, even misogynistic view of male-female relationships at the time, the song lyrics establish a threatening tone towards the singer's unnamed girlfriend (referred to throughout the song as "little girl"), claiming "I'd rather see you dead, little girl, than to be with another man".

Lennon would revisit this theme in a more apologetic fashion with his post-Beatles song "Jealous Guy".
