Bill was a small loner
Never did dream
of ever leaving southern Arizona
Of ever hearing wedding bells ring
Never had a lot of luck with the ladies
Sure had a lot of good working skills
Never cared about climbing any ladders
He knew the way in a small cafe
he found the will
Met Miss Bonnie and little bit of her was a little too much
Two movies and a few months later
The feeling got stronger
Didn't own a car so it must have been love
Drove him up town for 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 'em
But he loves when he just keeps 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
New promotion every now and then
Bonnie working till she couldn't tie her apron
Then stayed at home and had the first of two children
My how the time did fly
The babies grew up and moved away
Left them sitting on the front porch rocking
Billy watching Bonnie's hair turn gray
And every once in awhile
you could see him get up and he headed downtown
'cause he heard about something she wanted
And it would have to be found
Didn't matter how simple or how much
it was love
And boy ain't that love 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 'em
But he loves when he just keeps 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
