I started the chord sequences on the piano, which I don't really play, and then began writing ideas for the words from various opposites: I want a love that's right, But right is only half of what's wrong. Again, it's the duality of things — yes-no, up-down, left-right, right-wrong, etc.

—George Harrison, 1980
