Beatles songs, Do You Want to Know a Secret?

JOHN 1980: 'Well, I can't say I wrote it 'for' George.
My mother was always… she was a good comedienne and a singer.
Not professional, but she used to get up in pubs and things like that.
She had a good voice.
She could do Kay Starr.
She used to do this little tune when I was one or two years old… she was still living with me then.
The tune was from a Disney movie: (sings) 'Do you want to know a secret? Promise not to tell? You are standing by a wishing well.' So, I had this sort of thing in my head, and I wrote it and just gave it to George to sing.
I thought it would be a good for him, because it had only three notes and he wasn't the best singer in the world.
He has improved a lot since then; but in those days, his ability was very poor.'

PAUL 1984: 'A song we really wrote for George to sing.
Before he wrote his own stuff, John and I wrote things for him and Ringo to do.'

GEORGE 1994: ''Do You Want To Know A Secret' was my song on the album.
I didn't like the vocal on it.
I didn't know how to sing.'
