Sweet William

someday I'll send this stupid song, sweet william
you're a complicated girl
it's a complicated world
you've got to take your chances
because your chances won't take you
and you could lose tomorrow
before you know it, your life is through
lai lai lai lai
lai lai lai lai
sweet william, it's a complicated world
someday I'll right this stupid wrong, sweet william
what on earth am I to do?
what on earth am I to say?
maybe this sweet romance is
a silly way to make it through
and all the days you borrow
to just imagine your soul renewed
lai lai lai lai
lai lai lai lai
sweet william, it's a complicated world
and if I ever get it right, sweet william
will you wake up?
find a way for us to make up
and if I ever get it wrong
there's still a beacon on the backstreets
among the foxes and the factories
we've got to take our chances
because our chances won't take us
and we could lose tomorrow
before we know it, our life is through
lai lai lai lai
lai lai lai lai
sweet william, it's a complicated world
