Beatles - Get Back Song MeaningsLyrics:Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner But he knew it wouldn't last. Jojo left his home in tucson, arizona For some california grass. <... (See the rest of these lyrics) Submitted by: anonymous Added: 2006-07-26 12:23:01 Rating:  I think this song is about a man named jo jo who left his home thinking if he did this he could escape love for a while, but he new it wouldn't last. Then he met (loretta)a man who dresses as a woman to get love. Reffering to "she gets it while she can" and jojo falls in love with her but then he finds out she's a man and dumps her and tells her to go home your mother is waiting for you.
Submitted by: anonymous Original bootlegged studio versions of the beatles practicing for let it be had Paul singing 'don't need no Pakistanis - taking all the peoples jobs...'. George Martin knew better than to develop that theme and they created nebulous lyrics with general social meanings.
Submitted by: anonymous I believe that during one of the rehearsals for this song,while saying "get back to where you once belong" Paul looked directly at yoko and John felt he was dishonoring her
Submitted by: anonymous Jojo was a loner so he moved in order to make friends. His new friends were into marijuana and he needed to stop hanging out with them and go back to his old home, which he does and ends up making better friends and having a better life without pot!
Submitted by: anonymous i think jojo and loretta are the same person; loretta being the woman that jojo becomes in order to make friends. His stepford mother would never accept who he had wanted to become, and by leaving he would be deserting (haha, like Arizona) what he truly valued as "home". It's saying be true to whom you are.
Submitted by: anonymous It's about Yoko Ono silly. JoJo leaves his home, that is, his place with the Beatles, to find the "greener grass" in a different side of life.
Submitted by: anonymous I think this song was written by Paul to John, suggesting John should "get back" to being a Beatle. The first line says: Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner, but he knew it couldn't last. I think Paul meant that John's new lifestyle could only last so long and eventually he would have to come back to change again. I think Paul wanted John to come back to the Beatles, his true home. I also think he used Jojo, as a sort of shortened version of John.
Submitted by: anonymous I think in a way Paul is referring to both John and Yoko. He is saying John should go back to his Beatle life and yoko should go back home, should leave, should get away.
