lyrics

billy stood on the corner
under the rain
waiting for little girls
to walk his way
and billy
liked to think of them that way

in the form of angels
born to light his way
he'd wait and hope to hear
one of them say
hey billy
won't you come and play

he waited til it was dark out
one was walking alone
he sneaked up behind her
grabbed her by her pretty pink bow
hey billy
you can't play with her that way

he made her a bed of roses
but they only scratched her skin
he tried to make her love him
but he couldn't win
hey billy
he liked to think of her that way

everyday
he fell in love and he made her pay
he found himself walking to church
just to wash his sins away
hey billy
you can't play with her that way
