She Is His Only Need (Live)

作词 : Loggins

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, found the will

He met Miss

Bonnie And a little bit of her was a little too much

A few movies and a few months latter

The feeling got strong enough

They didn't own a car

So it must have been love

That drove him uptown for a diamond

That's when he started goin'

Over the line

Working overtime

To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve them

But he loves 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, it's 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 sitting on the front porch rocking

And Billy watching

Bonnie's hair turn gray

And ev'ry once in a while you could see him get up

And he'd head downtown '

Cause he heard about something she wanted

And it just had to be found

Didn't matter how simple or how much

It was love

And, boy, ain't that love just something

When it's strong enough to keep a man goin'

Over the line

Working overtime

She is his only need

His only need

Overboard

Over the limit

Just for her

She is his only need

His only need
