What was the occasion that inspired the lyrics, the article is a bit confusing right now. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 09:46, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I'm curious to know this too. --Johnleemk 15:41, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I'm afraid I've come along LONG after your query, but I added reference to Matovina's Badfinger biography regarding lyric origination. In a nutshell, Pete Ham wrote the verse after leaving his girlfriend for a studio session. She told him it was OK, but "in her eyes her sorrow showed." -- ZincOrbie 23:20, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused: Why does Mariah Carey and no one else deserve an image-let alone the bulk of this article, when her release is not quite as important as Nilsson's, nor did she write the song? It doesn't seem balanced.J. M. 06:14, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree, but at least the Carey version no longer has its own article. Also, I've removed the single infobox for Carey's version as the article isn't big enough for more than one infobox and it introduces POV issues. Extraordinary Machine 21:43, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Without You still her only solo UK no.1

The article claims it is her only UK no.1 as of 2006, this may create the impression she had another solo no.1 in 2006 so Ive eddited it to 'still remains' her only uk no.1 solo single
