Oh, for what it’s worth, no less than John Lennon loved the song. I spent a long time talking to [photographer] Bob Gruen once, it was great as we talked about a lot of stuff that he doesn’t usually get grilled on. One of the things that came up was the times he spent with John listening to the radio. Bob singled this song out as one he and John would listen to and how much John loved the song. John took the song quite personally, and saw it as Paul sending a message to him: ‘Yeah, I know you think I only write silly love songs, but I love you.’ Bob said John specifically mentioned the ‘I love you’ refrain as being a message from Paul to him. We can speculate all we want, but I have no reason to doubt the word or memory of a guy who sat in the Dakota bedroom with John and listened to this song with him.

‘(Forgive Me) My Little Flower Princess’ was written during John Lennon’s stay in Bermuda, from June to July 1980, and recorded upon his return to the studio, on 14 August 1980. It wouldn’t be heard by the general public until 23 January 1984, on the posthumous album Milk And Honey.
The lyrics go as follows:
Forgive me, my little flower princess For crushing your delicateness Forgive me, if you could forgive me
Forgive me, my little flower princess For selfishness Forgive me, forgive me
Well, I know there is no way to repay you Whatever it takes I will try to The rest of my life I will thank you Thank you, thank you, my little
If you’ll forgive me, my little flower princess Never too late unless you can’t forgive
Time is on our side Let’s not waste another minute ‘Cause I love you, my little friend I really love you
Give me just one more chance And I’ll show you Take up the dance where we left off The rest of our life is the, my little
I’m home
Overall, the song seems to strike the same apologetic tone previously expressed in ‘Jealous Guy’ (1971) and ‘I Know (I Know)’ (1973).
I didn’t mean to hurt you I’m sorry that I made you cry Oh no, I didn’t want to hurt you I’m just a jealous guy
— ‘Jealous Guy’ (1971)
I know what’s coming down and I know where it’s coming from and I know and I’m sorry (yes I am) but I never could speak my mind
— ‘I Know (I Know)’ (1973)
“The rest of my life I will thank you” gives a sense of gratitude for the other’s love and presence in his life, further explored in ‘Now And Then’ (1978).
I know it’s true, it’s all because of you And if I make it through, it’s all because of you And now and then, if we must start again Well we will know for sure, that I love you
— ‘Now And Then’ (1978)
“Take up the dance where we left off” shows hope in a reconciliation that they have “the rest of our life” to experience, as found in ‘(Just Like) Starting Over’ (1980) and ‘Grow Old Along With Me’ (1980).
It’s been too long since we took the time No-one’s to blame, I know time flies so quickly But when I see you darling It’s like we both are falling in love again It’ll be just like starting over, starting over
— ‘(Just Like) Starting Over’ (1980)
Grow old along with me The best is yet to be When our time has come We will be as one God bless our love
— ‘Grow Old Along With Me’ (1980)
Nevertheless, this feeling that “time is on our side” doesn’t take from the urgency to get together and “not waste another minute”, similarly dealt with in ‘Borrowed Time’ (1980) and ‘(Just Like) Starting Over’ (1980).
Now I am older ah, hah The future is brighter and now is the hour
— ‘Borrowed Time’ (1980)
It’s time to spread our wings and fly Don’t let another day go by my love
— ‘(Just Like) Starting Over’ (1980)
Regarding the endearments used during the song, we find the classical ‘little friend’, famously used by aunt Mimi in reference to Paul. (It is also worth noting that, tongue-in-cheek or not, in French ‘petit-ami’ means boyfriend).
Also, the song is called ‘My Little Flower Princess’. It is known that Yoko Ono has reported hearing Paul being called ‘John’s princess’ around Apple.
But it’s John’s thing with flowers as a metaphor for love that fascinates me the most.
