Sonny Boy

Take Sonny, he's a real go-getter

A regular man about town

He's got the world revolving around the music

And keeping his ear to the ground

He falls asleep behind his dark sunglasses

And whispers the words with a smile

D-I-double-G, I love ya, baby

I ain't seen your face in awhile

She ain't keeping score, he don't owe her anything

But she ain't gonna sit around

Waiting for the phone to ring

Sonny Boy, don't take your toys away

Save them for a rainy day, yea, yea, yea

An IOU could break her heart in two

She thought you were the real McCoy, Sonny Boy

He's got his servant and his own dumbwaiter

To answer the phone when you call

Sorry, Sonny's underneath the weather

Try him back later next fall

The boss called him out to California

Let Hollywood make you a star

Now he's on the Music Television

And driving a Cadillac car

Funny how fame and money does what it can

To bring about change in the boy

The clothes don't make the man

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]

It's a game you just can't win

Though it never will be the same again

Fair-weather friend

I don't think we've heard the last of Sonny

He can't get it off of his mind

He wants to laugh, but he don't think it's funny

A conscience can turn on a dime

When he was a boy, they taught him the Golden Rule

Take him for anything, but don't take him for a fool

[Chorus]

(Don't save it 'til the morning after)
