>>the one who sang is the one who wrote it.<<
Not always. These come to mind immediately:
If I Fell, written by John, sung by Paul
Im Happy Just to Dance With You, written by John, sung by George
Every Little Thing, written by Paul, sung by John
I Dont Want to Spoil the Party, written by John, sung by Paul
Tell Me What You See, written by Paul, sung by John
I'm sure there's more.
>>They didn't write the Beatle tunes together<<
That's pure crap. More songs were written jointly than individually.
If you take the time to read "Beatlesongs" by William J. Dowlding you'll see that most of the songs were co-authored. Many were not a 50/50 collaboration but the Dowlding book breaks down each song and the percentage contribution made by Lennon and McCartney.
Check it out.
