Elton John — Billy and the Kids

[Verse 1] Nothing looks as bad After staying up all night And the cruel words that cut you down I never meant to write And what came out as anger Oh was a lack of self control Billy won't you hold me Once before you go [Verse 2] Clever lies keep coming Some men never change I'm a hand that's raised in anger The blow that causes pain But I just can't be trusted With a bottle and a child Billy it's no wonder You say I've never tried [Chorus] Oh so leave me now Oh don't turn around It's the best thing you ever did But it's hard for me to say goodbyе To Billy and the kids Oh so leave mе now Oh don't turn around It's the best thing you ever did But it's hard for me to say goodbye To Billy and the kids [Instrumental] [Verse 3] And what came out as anger Oh was a lack of self control Billy won't you hold me Once before you go [Chorus] Oh so leave me now Oh don't turn around It's the best thing you ever did But it's hard for me to say goodbye To Billy and the kids Oh so leave me now Oh don't turn around It's the best thing you ever did But it's hard for me to say goodbye To Billy and the kids To Billy and the kids To Billy and the kids To Billy and the kids To Billy and the kids [Outro] (But it's hard for me to say goodbye To) To Billy and the kids
