"Can't Buy Me Love" is a song composed by Paul McCartney[2] (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and released by The Beatles on the A side of their sixth British single, "Can't Buy Me Love/You Can't Do That."
When pressed by American journalists in 1966 to reveal the song's "true" meaning, McCartney denied that "Can't Buy Me Love" was about prostitution, stating that, although it was open to interpretation, that suggestion was going too far, saying: "The idea behind it was that all these material possessions are all very well, but they won't buy me what I really want."[3] Although he was to later comment: "It should have been 'Can Buy Me Love' " when reflecting on the perks that money and fame had brought him.[4]
Ironically, the line "I don't care too much for money / Money can't buy me love" expresses the opposite sentiment from their earlier cover, "Money (That's What I Want)". John Winston Ono.
