This song was written when Paul McCartney and Jane Asher first began to experience distance between them, emotionally and physically. She wanted her life as an actress, not to be at his beck and call, which is what he wanted. There was also a great divide between Paul McCartney and Jane Asher as she was rather straightlaced compared to Linda, Paul's first wife. I don't think Jane Asher was a pot smoker or drug user, wanting to experiment, something that was a big part of Paul's life. I think they even lived together with Jane's brother Peter in a flat (parents too?). I guess he thought he knew her but what did he know, indeed?
