Yes, “You Won’t See Me” sprung to mind immediately.
Fun listen.

Thanks, it was a fun do! I considered making my protagonist the self-important misogynistic jerk that young Paul McCartney was back then, but I was afraid it would be taken as me being the jerk. Here's Wikipedia's "behind the scenes" story:

"You Won't See Me" is about a crisis in McCartney's relationship with his then girlfriend, Jane Asher. Four years younger than McCartney, Asher was approaching twenty and no longer willing to adhere to his wish that she stay at home and put his interests first. In late 1965, while the Beatles were recording the album "Rubber Soul" in London, she had accepted an offer to appear in a stage production at the Bristol Old Vic theatre. After a heated argument, the couple had briefly ended the relationship. When he then attempted to telephone her in Bristol, Asher rejected him by not returning his calls. McCartney later said that it was "shattering to be without her".

Poor guy! Same attitude he expressed to the same woman in the grotesquely mistitled "We Can Work It Out".

Here's a photo of her doing that which so upset the macho moptop.

PS – Paul wrote the song in the basement of her parents' house, where he was living at the time.
