William, It Was Really Nothing Lyrics

[00:03.85] The rain falls hard on a humdrum town
[00:07.92] This town has dragged you down
[00:10.70] Oh, the rain falls hard on a humdrum town
[00:15.15] This town has dragged you down
[00:21.51] Oh no, and everybody's got to live their life
[00:26.07] And God knows I've got to live mine
[00:29.31] God knows I've got to live mine
[00:48.36] William, William, it was really nothing
[00:55.38] William, William, it was really nothing
[01:03.09] It was your life
[01:09.47] How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say
[01:12.91] "Oh, would you like to marry me?
[01:15.43] And if you like, you can buy the ring"
[01:17.71] She doesn't care about anything
[01:20.82] Would you like to marry me?
[01:22.88] And if you like, you can buy the ring
[01:24.70] I don't dream about anyone except myself
[01:37.25] Oh, William, William, it was really nothing
[01:46.15] William, William, oh-oh-oh-oh
[01:53.35]
