Since you're been gone now honey life ain't nothing 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?

Billy, Billy

Ain't love hard to explain?

For a debutante you're a real hard woman

But I love you just the same

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

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

We're better lovers than friends

Life is like a movie but this ain't pretend

There really doesn't have to be a happy end

Billy, Billy

Ain't love hard to explain?

For a debutante you're a real hard woman

But I love you just the same

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

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 if like a movie but this ain't pretend
