Since you're been gone now honey life ain't nothing but sad luck days I begged on my knees now, sugar You acted like you never knew my name My friends saw you at the station I guess you must have missed your train Tell me is it 'cause you love me, Billy Or is it just because you love the pain? [Chorus:] Billy, Billy Ain't love hard to explain? For a debutante you're a real hard woman But I love you just the same How come you're sad when I get happy? Why do you laugh when I want to cry? Tell me why when I say I need you You turn around and you say goodbye Why do you think that a heart's so fragile? Can you tell me why love's so blind? Just like a magnet you pull me under I can't resist you, we're two of a kind [Chorus:] Billy, Billy Ain't love hard to explain? For a debutante you're a real hard woman But I love you just the same Billy, Billy We're better lovers than friends Life is like a movie but this ain't pretend There really doesn't have to be a happy end [Chorus:] Billy, Billy Ain't love hard to explain? For a debutante you're a real hard woman But I love you just the same I never said you had to walk on water Or that I could ever stop the rain Some times we break up just to make up, baby And we don't care who's to blame Billy, Billy Ain't love hard to explain? For a debutante you're a real hard woman But I love you just the same Billy, Billy Can we be lovers and friends Life if like a movie but this ain't pretend
