Looks like we can add another song to the list of post Beatle PID-related songs. Seems like George wrote this song as if he was speaking to Paul and then himself. Look at the lyrics:
Wah-wah You've given me a wah-wah And I'm thinking of you And all the things that we used to do Wah-wah, wah-wah
Wah-wah You made me such a big star Being there at the right time Cheaper than a dime Wah-wah, you've given me your wah-wah, wah-wah
Oh, you don't see me crying Oh, you don't hear me sighing
Wah-wah I don't need no wah-wah And I know how sweet life can be If I keep myself free from the wah-wah I don't need no wah-wah
Oh, you don't see me crying Hey baby, you don't hear me sighing Oh, no no-no no
Wah-wah Now I don't need no wah-wah's And I know how sweet life can be If I keep myself free - of wah-wah I don't need no wah-wah
Wah-wah

You could very well be right about this.

Makes perfect sense. The lines "You made me such a big star" describe perfectly what Paul did for George. Really, John and Paul already had two guitarists in the band and Paul persuaded John to let George in. Without Paul, obviously there would be no George.

OK, that is like a really really strong and ballsy song there. Good for George! It's like, he says to himself, OK it'a been Lennon/McCartney & McCartney/Lennon all these years; I'm free now to record whatever I want, this is gonna rock their world! Yeah! So, I mean, there he is, really doing it and it's great; good for George Harrison.

FWIW, (and going from memory) that song was something George wrote after a particularly bad day when they were recording Let It Be, and it was supposedly directed at John.
