Not really. She wrote the title. And the chorus was mostly hers, but the rest of her original lyrics went unused.
Of course it wasn't a sole Buckingham composition either. It was actually a mashup of three different songs, with Stevie's original demo, Lindsey's guitar part recycled from a song on the 1973 Buckingham/Nicks album, and the "iconic" bass line & ending cannibalized from a Christine McVie song "Keep Me There" which was recorded for Rumours, but didn't make it to the album. So end result is that all 5 band members got a writing credit for the song (though I'm not sure what Mick Fleetwood actually wrote for it).
But Lindsey is the one who assembled all the pieces like a jigsaw puzzle and made the song into the masterpiece it was, so I'll give him a little extra credit as "composer/arranger" on that song.
So for the record, here's all the pieces, starting with Stevie's demo....
Pretty much an entirely different song, and not a bad one either. But aside from the chorus, doesn't resemble the final product at all.
