Just Like
"If I couldn't have worked with her, I wouldn't have bothered. I wouldn't enjoy just putting an album out by myself, having to go to the studio by myself, because, even though I had been in a group, I've had that kind of game before. I didn't want to work with another guy. We're presenting ourselves as man and wife and not as sexual objects who sing love songs and are available to the audience. We're presenting ourselves as a couple, and to work with your best friend is a joy." John Lennon

Our life together is so precious together
We have grown-we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone
It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over- starting over
Everyday we used to make it love
Why can't we be making love nice and easy
It's time to spread our wings and fly
Don't let another day go by my love
It'll be just like starting over- starting over
Why don't we take off alone
Take a trip somewhere far far away
We'll be together on our own again
Like we used to in the early days
Well Well darling




"We were like teenagers, falling in love again during the making of this album. There was an incredibly strange feeling-'Starting Over' was how he felt, and that's why he wrote that song at the time. We were saying, 'This is crazy, isn't it?' And John was saying, 'We must tell the fans that it gets better after ten years'." Yoko ONO
