More like had she had to get up early and was going to bed, and he, who could have slept on a couch or on the living room floor, etc., decided on his own to go sleep in the bath. > > Some people feel it’s better to be an interesting liar than a truthful bore, and I wonder sometimes if McCartney doesn’t on occasion say things that aren’t necessarily true just because they make for a more interesting back story on a song. I heard a quote from a Beatle biographer and I regret that I don’t have a source or and exact quote but it was something like, “Since George died you can’t get good information because Ringo doesn’t remember and Paul makes it up.” That’s what I remember hearing but can’t vouch for its veracity. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/today-was-the-day-in-which-i-listened-from-i-saw-her-standing-there-to-get-back/820497)._
