On the single version, Paul sings “when I’m going to change your mind”, while John sings “when I’m gonna make you mine” at the same time. In the version recorded live at the BBC in 1963, John corrected himself, indicating that the initial recording was too rushed to go back and correct his mistake.

Ice, in this case would mean silver/platinum jewelry, but it could have a double meaning as Meth
