Hey Willy
Hey Willy, hey Willy
You've got yourself a girl
Hey Willy, hey Willy
Been lonely in this world
You know, you know
You've got to treat her fine
Hey Willy, hey Willy
And love her all the time
Just take your teenage arms and your frightened lips
Go discover what you can't resist
Well, don't you worry none, she's older than you
She will know your little brother eyes
Hey Willy, hey Willy
You've got yourself a girl
Hey Willy, hey Willy
Been lonely in this world
You got to, got to know
You better treat her fine
Hey Willy, hey Willy
You know that girl was mine
Well, don't you know 'bout us? Our secret love?
We both learned pain when we were young
Once upon a time, we were high and free
Then this old war come runnin' for me
Then the draft man come
I left and went on the run
I know that you were too young
To know why I went away
Hey Willy, hey Willy
You've got yourself a girl
Hey Willy, hey Willy
Been lonely in this world
You know, you know
My baby brother's grown
Hey Willy, hey Willy
Please make that girl your own
Hey Willy, hey Willy
Please love her like I would
