And I don't see how the relative age of the writers of the TLC song relative to "McCartney II"'s release matters, especially since, as you said yourself, the album wasn't particularly popular when it came out.
Anyway, I think it's entirely possible that the song could have been at least unconsciously plagiarized but also admit that it's perhaps just as likely that it's all a coincidence. But my original point was that I'd be very surprised if Paul hadn't become aware of the TLC song one way or another by now and if so, knowing his personality, he at least briefly considered taking legal action.
