Wynonna - She Is His Only Need lyrics

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 café
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
They didn't own a car so it must
Have been love that drove them uptown
For a diamond, that's when he started going

Over the line, working overtime
To give her things just to hear
Her say she don't deserve them
But he loves 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
See, 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 then 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 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 just 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 them
But he loves 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
See, it's not for him she is his only need

Over the line, working overtime
She is his only need
His only need, overboard, over the limit
Just for her
