*** Joseph See [JoJo] was Linda McCarthy's first husband. They lived in southern Arizona and had a daughter named Heather. Joe was an archaeologist and travelled for many months at a time. He went to South Africa on a dig and when he came back, Linda had taken Heather and left him. She divorced Joe and eventually met Paul through mutual friends. They married and Paul adopted Heather. Joe never got over Linda and used to stay with the McCarthys when visiting his daughter. He would stay too long and Paul didn't like that. [Get back to where you belong JoJo].
Paul and Linda had a horse range in Tucson, AZ. Just a few miles from See,s home. Linda and Joe remained friends and would visit when in AZ. Joe took his own life in 2000 after Linda died of cancer. Linda died on their AZ ranch.
*** John Lennon said in an interview that the lyrics, "get back to where you should be," in one demo version, refers to Yoko Ono.
*** interpretation of "she's got it coming" - the girls around her (jealous other girls, perhaps) say she merits punishment or retribution. But, she herself is not worrying about that; she's getting it (whatever "it" is, in this case, whatever she wants to be getting) while she can (not wasting time attaining what she wants).
