Nicky: She helps me out so much man, but she doesn't want credit because she doesn't want it t' be like Paul and Linda McCartney or any o' t' others. Begad! I wanted t' give her credit for writin' t' words, but she wouldn't have it. Wouldja?
Linda: Nooo. As long as you give me credit personally, that's all I'm interested in.
