Lyrics
Willy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well you come on to me and you court and pursue me
Hey, you asked me for the rest of my life
Aren't you big on romance, aren't you short on circumstance
And you forgot to tell me you have a wife
Did you tell me that truth is your creed
You don't apply it to me
Your honesty is sifted with lies
Chorus:
Hey, come on Willy
Do you really want to leave her?
Is it me you love -- I think it's just love that you love
Willy, deal me a straight hand
You got the wild card inside you glove
Regular like clockwork you used to treat me like paydirt
But lately that clock don't seem to work anymore
When you make an appearance, do you give me some clearance
No, you lie like a dog and walk out the door
Chorus
Ain't no time to talk in abstract now
You take all the slack that love will allow
And I'm calling a penalty, you can save your poetry
Yes baby, it's you and me, on this line
I used to love you, I used to hang on to you
I guess it was a matter of time
Don't you blow me no kisses
Go on home to your Mrs.
You won't miss me baby, out of sight out of mind
Chorus
