Be Mine, Billie

The Jones-Hay Residence · Be Mine Billie

Well, I can’t forget the
first time that we met,
but inside of my head
and in retrospect,
before I’d elect
to let my thoughts collect,
I thought I’d hold out for
our grooves to connect

So, be mine, Billie,
a waste so silly,
that boy who’s so, so vain
No, Billie, you’re worth
your weight in gold
and you deserve the same
I say so, Billie,
while I wait so willing,
employing no restraint
No, Billie, if I
could be so bold
to man up with the nerve to say
Be mine, Billie

Oh I tried to put you
all out of my mind,
but everywhere I went,
it’s you there I’d find,
Complete innocence
we’d begun to suspect
Each time we’d lock eyes,
knew no coincidence

Oh, be mine, Billie,
a waste so silly,
that boy who’s so, so vain
No, Billie, you’re worth
your weight in gold
and you deserve the same
I say so, Billie,
while I wait so willing,
employing no restraint
No, Billie, if I
could be so bold
to man up with the nerve to say
Be mine, Billie
