It was written and sung by John Lennon (credited to Lennon--McCartney) and released on the album Help! in August 1965 . </P> <P> Lennon said of the song, "That's me in my Dylan period again . I am like a chameleon, influenced by whatever is going on . If Elvis can do it, I can do it . If the Everly Brothers can do it, me and Paul can . Same with Dylan ." The song is an early example of John self - reflecting in his writing, which had begun with songs such as "I'm a Loser" in the summer of 1964 . Lennon wrote the song at home during what he called his "Dylan period," wanting another song for the film Help! . The song "is just basically John doing Dylan," Paul McCartney confirmed . The song is similar to a folkish strophic form and uses a Dylanesque acoustic guitar figure in compound time, chiefly acoustic accompaniment, no backing voices and light percussion from brushed snare, tambourine and maraca . A flute, however, replaces the harmonica that Dylan typically used . </P>
