She Is His Only Need (Live)

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, I'm getting stronger every day, haha But it was winter of 1992 and my first single as a solo artist was released And the fans, uh, believed in me when I wasn't even sure of myself And um, I wasn't sure that the dream would continue But it did And you made this song number one [Verse 1] Billy was a small-town loner Who never did dream of ever leavin' southern Arizona Or ever hearin' weddin' bells ring He nevеr had a lot of luck with the ladies But he surе had a lot of good workin' skills Never cared about climbin' any ladder He knew the way in a small café Found the will [Verse 2] He met Miss Bonnie and a little bit of her was a little too much A few movies and a few months later, the feelin' got strong enough They didn't own a car, so it must have been love That drove 'em uptown for a diamond And that's when he started goin' [Chorus] Over the line, workin' overtime To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve 'em But he loves her and he just kept goin' 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 [Verse 3] 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 And left 'em sittin' on the front porch rockin' And Billy watchin' Bonnie's hair turn gray [Verse 4] And every once in a while, you could see him get up and he'd head downtown 'Cause he'd heard about somethin' she wanted and it just had to be found Didn't matter how simple or how much, it was love Boy, ain't that love just somethin' When it's strong enough to keep a man goin'? [Chorus] Over the line, workin' overtime To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve 'em But he loves her and he just kept goin' 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 [Post-Chorus] Over the line, workin' overtime She is his only need His only need Overboard, over the limit Just for her She is his only need, his only need [Outro] Thank you for that gift Thank you
