It could be ... that ... that was a scratch vocal.. and she was just throwing in pot luck lyrics.. just to get the arrangement down..

I thought the same thing about them being place-holder lyrics. But they're a bit too cohesive to be pot luck. This first version of the song seems to be written for John as an ode to forgiveness and friendship, whereas the final version, which switches from from that theme to lust and uncertainty, appears to be for Dennis Wilson. Maybe as the relationship with Dennis progressed, Christine reconceived the song...
