Lyrics:

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh-huh

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?

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
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

Never been enough just to give you my life, friend

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
Hey, hey, hey

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

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
