Lyrics
Don't mess with Bill
Don't mess with Bill
Don't mess with Bill
Sing one more time
Don't mess with Bill
Now I know he's the guy who put tears in my eyes
A thousand times or more
Oh, but ev'rytime he would apologize
I loved him more than before
Hear what I say, girls, keep away, uh-huh
Don't mess with Bill
No, no, no, no
Don't mess with Bill
Leave my Billy alone
Don't mess with Bill
Get a guy of your own
Don't mess with Bill
Now there's Johnny, there's Joe
And there's Frank and Jim, just to name a few
Now Bill's got me and I've got him
I'm sure there's one for you
Hear what I say, girls, keep away, uh-huh
Don't mess with Bill
No, no, no, no
Don't mess with Bill
He is mine all mine
Don't mess with Bill
I'll say it one more time
Don't mess with Bill
Though I tell myself he wants no one else
'Cause he keeps coming back to me
Now I'm in no position to want competition
I want to be sure as can be
Hear what I say, girls, keep away, uh-huh
Don't mess with Bill
No, no, no, no
Don't mess with Bill
Leave my Billy alone
Don't mess with Bill
Get a guy of your own
Don't mess with Bill
'Cause he's mine, all mine
Don't mess with Bill
I'll say it one more time
Don't mess with Bill
Ye, ye, ye-ye
Don't mess with Bill

Dreamy instrumental music that at times has the same pastel nostalgia as vaporware in its sprightly keys and big beats. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 17, 2022
