"Billy Said Yes" lyrics - THE POINTER SISTERS

Sorry, boys and girls
But Billy won't be out to play.

Ow!
Uh huh, Billy
Yeah

Billy said yes, said yes
Ow!
Billy said yes

When the teacher took the roll call,

Billy wasn't there
The class has staring at his empty chair
There were tears and crazy lies
As she began to say,
"Billy has a good excuse for missing school today."

There's been an accident (Oh no)
That she haven't heard it yet (Well)
Billy's got himself into a terrible mess
If the tough's the way to go
But when he should have said no
Billy said yes
He said yes

Oh, what a shame
It's a loser's game (It's a loser's game)
Turn away when trouble calls your name
He thought he bend,

But he wouldn't break (Wouldn't break)
Too late for him to learn from his mistake
Billy said yes

Billy said
What you say?
Billy said yes, said yes
Ow!
Billy said yes

Well, the teacher just stood there
Had nothing else to say
Today's should have been like any other day
Nothing strange about Billy
As strange as you and me
But maybe there was trouble there that no one else could see

Oh, what he's hurting inside

Or looking for a thrill
Maybe we will never ever know the real deal
If the tough's the way to go
But when he should have said no
Billy said yes
He said yes

Oh, what a shame
It's a loser's game (It's a loser's game
Turn away when trouble calls your name (Turn away)
He thought he bend
But he wouldn't break (Oh, yes, he did)
Too late for him to learn from his mistake
Billy said yes

Oh, what a shame (Oh yes)
It's a loser's game (Oh yes, oh yeah)
Turned away when trouble calls your name (Turn away)

He thought he bend,
But he wouldn't break (Wouldn't break)
Too late for him to learn from his mistake
Billy said yes

Billy said yes, said yes
Billy said yes
Billy said yes, said yes
Billy said yes
Yeah

What you say?

Billy said yes, said yes
Billy has a good excuse for missing school today
Billy said yes, said yes
Oh, sorry, boys and girls
But Billy won't be out to play
