Del Shannon — Dont Gild the Lily Lily

[Verse 1] Listen to me, Lil' And to what I’ve got to tell ya I've been through the mill And I don't want to sell ya But the game of love Is hard to understand So here’s some good advice Never overplay your hand [Chorus] Don't gild the lily, Lily Don't let him know he's your only thrill Even though he knocks ya silly When he looks at you with his eyes of blue Don't gild the lily, Lily Don't overdo on the sweet talk too If you act a little chilly He'll be hangin' ’round warming up to you [Post-Chorus] Oh Lil’, I know what I say Cause I've been through the mill So don’t gild the lily, Lil' Oh Lil', I know what I say Cause I've been through the mill So don’t gild the lily, Lil' [Chorus] Don't gild thе lily, Lily Don't let him know he's your only thrill Even though hе knocks ya silly When he looks at you with his eyes of blue [Post-Chorus] Oh Lil', I know what I say Cause I've been through the mill So don't gild the lily, Lil' Oh Lil', I know what I say Cause I've been through the mill So don't gild the lily, Lil'
