Billy

[Intro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh-huh

[Verse 1]

Since you've been gone now, honey

Life ain't nothin' but sad luck days

I begged on my knees now, sugar

You acted like you never knew my name

My friends saw you at the station

I guess you must have missed your train

Tell me, is it 'cause you love me, Billy

Or is it just because you love the pain?

[Chorus]

Billy, Billy

Ain't love hard to explain?

For a debutante you're a real hard woman, but I

Love you just the same

[Verse 2]

How come you're sad when I get happy?

Why do you laugh when I want to cry?

Tell me, why, when I say I need you

You turn around and you say goodbye

Why do you think that a heart's so fragile?

Can you tell me why love's so blind?

Just like a magnet, you pull me under

I can't resist you, we're two of a kind

[Chorus]

Billy, Billy

Ain't love hard to explain?

For a debutante you're a real hard woman, but I

Love you just the same

Billy, Billy

Can we be lovers and friends?

Life is like a movie but this ain't pretend

Billy, there's got to be a happy end

[Instrumental Break]

Never been enough just to give you my life, friend

[Chorus]

Billy, Billy

Ain't love hard to explain?

For a debutante you're a real hard woman, but I

Love you just the same

[Bridge]

I never said you had to walk on water or that I could ever stop the rain

Some times we break up just to make up, baby, and we don't care who's to blame

Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Billy, Billy

Ain't love hard to explain?

For a debutante you're a real hard woman, but I

Love you just the same

Billy, Billy

Can we be lovers and friends?

Life is like a movie but this ain't pretend

Billy, there's got to be a happy end

[Outro]

Uh-huh-huh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh-oh-oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Billy, Billy

Ain't love hard to explain?

Billy, Billy

I love you just the same
