Låttexter: Wynonna. Her Story: Scenes From A Lifetime. She Is His Only Need.


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 later
The feeling got strong enough
He didn't own a car so it must have been
Love that drove 'em uptown for a diamond
And that's when he started going

Over the line
Working overtime
To give her things just to hear her say
She don't deserve 'em
But he loved 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
You see him 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 every once in a while
You could see him get up and he'd head downtown
'Cause he'd 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 something
When it's strong enough to keep a man going

Over the line
Working overtime
To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve 'em
But he loved 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
You see it's not for him
She is his only need
