Billy is a new man, | |
He does the best he can | |
To figure out what it's about | |
And what the hell he's meant to be. | |
He does the right thing when expected, | |
'Nuff respect, | |
Once in a while he likes a smoke and a joke, | |
Just as long as it's P.C. | |
And he thinks that he cries at the movies | |
'Cause he's in touch with his feminine side. | |
Sally wants a proud man | |
Sally wants a proud man | |
Sally wants a proud man | |
'Cause she's taken all his pride. | |
Billy is a new man, at least when she's around | |
A model father or if needed, | |
He'll be mother for the day, | |
He watches "Men Behaving Badly" | |
Though he'll gladly switch it off | |
If she's offended | |
He'll pretend it wasn't funny anyway | |
He's got one face he keeps for his woman | |
And one for when he's out with the guys | |
Sally wants a true man | |
Sally wants a true man | |
Sally wants a true man | |
But he's living out a lie | |
Better go and find an analyst, or something. | |
Time for sorting out his head. | |
Better go and find the book to read about it | |
Just like his daddy never did. | |
And he reads Marie Claire at the Doctors, | |
Just in case there is something he should know. | |
Sally wants a free man | |
Sally wants a free man | |
Sally wants a free man | |
But she will not let him go. | |
Billy is confused, | |
He feels abusive and abused. | |
He's got his one hand on an olive branch, | |
The other on his crotch. | |
He drives a sensible coupé, | |
He thinks Oasis are OK. | |
He drinks non-alcoholic lager though | |
He'd rather have a scotch. | |
And he tries very hard to be happy, | |
But there's a few little things in the way. | |
'Cause Billy wants a good girl | |
And a bad girl | |
And a blonde girl | |
And a brunette | |
Or a Bond Girl | |
And a house maid | |
And a tease maid | |
And a French maid, | |
Yeah, a sex aid, | |
And a Goddess | |
And a confidante, | |
A wet nurse and an agony aunt, | |
A lover, mother, baby sitter, | |
A young girl with a pretty face | |
And smart | |
But not too smart to love an asshole, | |
Yes, an asshole. | |
Billy wants to be an asshole. | |
Singin' | |
Billy wants it all now | |
Billy wants it all now | |
Billy wants it all now | |
But he's too ashamed to say. | |
Sally wants a Superman | |
Sally wants a Superman | |
Sally wants a Superman | |
She hasn't got a chance. |
