Billy was a small town loner
|
Who never did dream
|
Of ever leaving southern Arizona
|
Or ever hearing wedding bells ring
|
He never had a lot of luck with the ladies
|
But he sure had a lot of good working skills
|
Never cared about climbing any ladder
|
He knew the way in a small cafe, found the will
|
|
He met Miss Bonnie
|
And a little bit of her was a little too much
|
A few movies and a few months latter
|
The feeling got strong enough
|
They didn't own a car
|
So it must have been love
|
That drove him uptown for a diamond
|
That's when he started goin?
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Over the line
|
Working overtime
|
To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve them
|
But he loves her and he just kept going overboard
|
Over the limit to afford to give her things he knew she wanted
|
'Cause without her where would he be?
|
See, it's not for him
|
She is his only need
|
|
Ring on her finger and one on the ladder
|
A new promotion every now and then
|
Bonnie worked until she couldn't tie her apron
|
Then stayed at home and had the first of two children
|
And my, how the time did fly
|
The babies grew up and moved away
|
Left 'em sitting on the front porch rocking
|
And Billy watching Bonnie's hair turn gray
|
|
And every once in a while you could see him get up
|
And he's head downtown
|
'Cause he heard about something she wanted
|
And it just had to be found
|
Didn't matter how simple or how much
|
It was love
|
And, boy, ain't that love just something
|
When it's strong enough to keep a man goin?
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
Over the line
|
Working overtime
|
She is his only need
|
His only need
|
Overboard
|
Over the limit
|
Just for her
|
She is his only need
|
His only need
|
|

She Is His Only Need
