Diane Schuur Stay Away From Bill Lyrics

Stay Away From Bill Lyrics

"[Karrin Allyson]

If you want a man you can love

and be his one and only



[Deedles Schuur]

If you want a man who will be there

and always will



K: If this is who you're looking for

D: The prince who's going to show up

at your door



Both:Whatever you do, 

Stay away from Bill



[Horn & piano interlude]



D:Stay away from Bill, he's a beast

and you'll always be lonely



K: He won't ever call, and he'll run

when he's had his fill



D:He'll put you on a pedestal



K:That's right before he puts you

through the mill



Both:Whatever you do,

Stay away from Bill



Both:If you're wonderin' if there's any good in him

When it comes to Bill, the answer's no



He'll lie and deceive you

He'll love you and leave you

and ohhhhhh.....



D:You'll be miserable



K:So stay away from Bill

'Cause he's bad, and he's nothin' but trouble



D:[He's nothin' but trouble]



K:Stay away from Bill



D:[counterpoint] Stay away from Bill



K:If you do



Both: And you're gonna be fiiiiiiine.....



D:He'll have you and hurt you

and then he will desert you 



K:He'll shock you and shake you

He'll rock you and he'll break you



Both: He'll chill you and thrill you

He'll kill you, then he'll bill you



Stay--a-way--from--Bill

That--boy--is--miiiiiiine



D: That boy is mine



K: No, that boy is mine



D: Did you hear me, girlfriend?

That boy is mine



K: I heard you loud and clear

That boy is mine



D: No he's not, no he's not



K: [humming] 



D: I'll tell you one more time, girlfriend,

He's mine



D:[humming]



K:Deedles, that boy is mine



D:Karryn, that boy is mine



[Karryn - scatting]



[Deedles - scatting]



K: Stay away from Bill



D: Stay away from Bill"
