You Won't See Me

You Won't See Me is a song by the legendary British '60s rock group The Beatles, on the album Rubber Soul. Though it is credited to Lennon/McCartney, it is written by only Paul McCartney. The song is about a crisis in McCartney's relationship with his then-girlfriend Jane Asher. She was rejecting him by not returning phone calls and ignoring him -- for once, he was in a vulnerable position. The more biting tone of the song marks a change away from his earlier, happier love songs. "You Won't See Me" was recored during the last session for Rubber Soul.
