In general, the lead singer is also the main songwriter. Some of John and Paul's early work was true collaboration, written side-by-side. Mostly they'd get together and play each other what they'd been working on. Then one would say, "That bit would fit well with this little bit I have." They'd put them together and there was the song.
For example, "We Can Work It Out" starts with a lead vocal by Paul, singing the part he wrote. Then the bridge, "life is very short," is John's vocal because he wrote that bit.
After awhile they wrote everything separately, so the lead singer rule applies.
In the case of George, his song "Happy Just to Dance with You" was written by John, but all his other songs were written by him.
Most of Ringo's songs were written by John, except for "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus's Garden," which he wrote himself.
All four of them sang covers of songs written by others. I assume you're asking about the Lennon-McCartney songs.
