She Is His Only Need lyrics

Billy was a small town loner
who never did dream,
of ever leaving southern Arizona,
or ever hearing wedding bells ring.

He never had a lot of luck with the ladies,
but he sure had a lot of good working skills.
Never cared about climbing any ladder.
He knew the way, in a small cafe, he found the will.

Met miss Bonnie and a little of her was a little to much.
A few movies and a few months later the feeling got strong enough
He didn`t own a car so it must have been love that
drove him uptown for a diamond.
That`s when he started goin`

(chorus)
Over the line
working overtime
to give her things just to hear her say
she dont deserve `em
But he loved her and he just kept going overboard
over the limit to afford
to give her things he knew she wanted
`cause without her where would he be
See its not for him
she is his only need.

Ring on her finger and one on the ladder.
A new promotion every now and then.
Bonnie worked until she couldn`t tie her apron
then stayed at home and had the first of two children.

And my how the time did fly.
The babies grew up and moved away.
Left `em sittin` on the front porch rockin` and
Billy watchin` Bonnie`s hair turn grey.

And every once in a while you could see him get up
and he`d head downtown,
`cause he`d heard about somthin` she wanted
and it just had to be found.
Didn`t matter how simple or how much,
it was love.

And boy aint` that love just somethin`
when it`s strong enough to keep a man goin`

(chorus)
Over the line
working overtime
to give her things just to hear her say
she dont deserve `em
But he loved her and he just kept going overboard
over the limit to afford
to give her things he knew she wanted
`cause without her where would he be
See its not for him
she is his only need.
