=== Side two === "[[Act Naturally#The Beatles version|Act Naturally]]", written by [[Johnny Russell (singer)|Johnny Russell]] and first recorded by [[Buck Owens]] in 1963,{{Sfn|Sisk|2010|pp=55β56}} was chosen by Ringo Starr to be his vocal contribution to the album.{{Sfn|Everett|2001|p=304}} Recorded at the end of the ''Help!'' sessions,{{Sfn|Lewisohn|1988|p=60}} it was the last-recorded [[Cover version|cover song]] the Beatles would officially release until "[[Maggie May (folk song)#The Beatles' version|Maggie Mae]]" in 1970.{{Sfn|MacDonald|2007|p=160}} In 1989, Owens and Starr recorded [[Act Naturally#Buck Owens and Ringo Starr duet version|another version]] together.{{Sfn|Harry|2004|p=8}} "[[It's Only Love]]" was originally written by Lennon under the title "That's a Nice Hat (Cap)". Five guitar layers were used on the track,{{Sfn|MacDonald|2007|p=159}} including Harrison's which was run through a [[Leslie speaker]].{{Sfn|MacDonald|2007|p=159}} Lennon was highly critical of the song in later years: "That's the one song I really hate of mine. Terrible lyric."{{Sfn|Guesdon|Margotin|2013|p=242}} "[[You Like Me Too Much]]" began the precedent of Harrison providing two or more songs to each Beatles album.{{Sfn|Guesdon|Margotin|2013|p=244}} It once again features Lennon on electric piano, but also George Martin and McCartney on a [[Steinway & Sons|Steinway]] [[Piano|grand piano]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Lewisohn|1988|p=54}}; {{Harvnb|Everett|2001|p=287}}.</ref> For "[[Tell Me What You See]]", McCartney drew inspiration for his lyrics from a religious verse that hung on a wall in Lennon's childhood home.{{Sfn|Turner|2015|p=116}} McCartney later described it as a [[Filler (media)|filler]] song, "Not awfully memorable."{{Sfn|Miles|1997|p=200}} McCartney wrote "[[I've Just Seen a Face]]" at the home of his girlfriend [[Jane Asher]]'s family, at 57 [[Wimpole Street]] in London.{{Sfn|Miles|1997|p=|pp=105, 200}} It would become one of McCartney's favorite Beatles songs and among the only ones he would perform with his later band [[Paul McCartney and Wings|Wings]].{{Sfn|Miles|1997|p=200}} The album's penultimate track, "[[Yesterday (song)|Yesterday]]", came partially to McCartney in his sleep. He spent about a month playing it to people to make sure he had not plagiarised it. He then wrote working lyrics for it under the title "Scrambled Eggs".{{Sfn|Turner|1994|p=83}} "Yesterday" was later recognized by ''[[Guinness World Records]]'' as the most-covered pop song in history.{{Sfn|MacDonald|2007|p=157}} The album ends with a cover of [[Larry Williams]]' "[[Dizzy, Miss Lizzy|Dizzy Miss Lizzy]]". Lennon in particular was a fan of Williams and, along with "Bad Boy", the Beatles also recorded his song "[[Slow Down (Larry Williams song)|Slow Down]]".{{Sfn|MacDonald|2007|p=118}}
