"All My Loving " is a song by The Beatles , written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon/McCartney ), from the 1963 album With the Beatles .
Writing
According to journalist Bill Harry, McCartney wrote the lyrics while shaving, but McCartney told biographer Barry Miles that he wrote them while on a tour bus. He also said, "It was the first song I'd ever written the words first. I never wrote words first, it was always some kind of accompaniment. I've hardly ever done it since either." The lyrics follow the "letter song" model as used on "P.S. I Love You ", the B-side of their first single .
Lennon showed his love for the song in his 1980 Playboy interview:
“
LENNON:"All My Loving" is Paul, I regret to say. Ha ha ha.
PLAYBOY: Why?
LENNON: Because it's a damn good piece of work....But I play a pretty mean guitar in back.
