"It's only me": Compilation
"I wish you'd see it's only me. I love you." (1973)
"We were once having a right slagging session and I remember how he took off his granny glasses. I can still see him. He put them down and said, ‘It’s only me, Paul.’ Then he put them back on again, and we continued slagging…That phrase keeps coming back to me all the time. ‘It’s only me.’ It’s became a mantra in my mind." (1981)
"Like this furious argument we were having about Apple, really going tooth and nail. And I can remember him looking at me, pulling down his glasses and saying softly, "It's only me." That's how I prefer to remember it." (1983)
"I remember kind of arguing once about something musical or something, and I remember John kind of just taking his glasses down and saying, “It’s only me.” And putting them back up again." (1991)
"One of my great memories of John is from when we were having some argument. I was disagreeing and we were calling each other names. We let it settle for a second and then he lowered his glasses and he said: “It’s only me.” And then he put his glasses back on again. To me, that was John. Those were the moments when I actually saw him without the facade, the armour, which I loved as well, like anyone else." (1997)
"John and I were arguing about something and I was getting fairly heated. He just pulled his glasses down his nose and looked over the top and said, “It’s only me,” and then put them back again." (1997)
"I think through all of that stuff, there was always the John who would put down his glasses and he’d say: “It’s only me.” And that was it, I’d know what he meant! ‘Ya, it’s only Johnny! It’s only Lennon, he’s only having a laugh with us, it’s just a joke, really." (2001)
"Whatever bad things John said about me, he would also slip his glasses down to the end of his nose and say, 'I love you'. That's really what I hold on to. That's what I believe. The rest is showing off." (2009)
"We’d have an argument about something, and he’d say something particularly caustic; then I’d be a bit wounded, and he’d pull down his glasses and peer at me and say, ‘It’s only me, Paul.’ That was John. ‘It’s only me.’" (2021)
"If we had an argument about something, and I would get a bit hurt because he was being sort of mean, then he would take down his glasses and say, 'it's only me', and put them back." (2024)
"If an argument ever got heated, John would lower his glasses and he'd say 'It's only me. I'm still the same guy you loved in Liverpool. It's only me." (2026)
