Smokey Robinson
Don’t Mess With Bill
[Intro]
Don't mess with Bill
Don't mess with Bill
(Don't mess with Bill)
Say it one more time
(Don't mess with Bill)

[Verse 1]
Now, I know he's a guy
Who put tears in my eyes
A thousand times or more
Oh, but every time he would apologize
I loved him more than before

[Chorus]
Hear what I say, girls keep away, uh-huh
And don't mess with Bill
(No, no, no, no, don't mess with Bill)
Leave my Billy alone
(Don't mess with Bill)
Oh, get a guy of your own
(Don't mess with Bill)

[Verse 2]
Now there's Johnny, there's Joe
And there's Frank and Jim
Just to name a few
Oh, but I've got Bill and he's got mе
I'm sure there's onе for you
[Chorus]
Hear what I say, girls keep away, girl
And don't mess with Bill
(No, no, no, no, don't mess with Bill)
Oh, leave my Billy alone
(Don't mess with Bill)
Yes, and get a guy of your own
(Don't mess with Bill)
Oh, don't mess with Bill

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Though I tell myself
He wants no one else
'Cause he keeps coming back to me
I'm in no position to want competition
I wanna be sure as can be

[Chorus]
And hear what I say, girls keep away, girls
Don't mess with Bill
(No, no, no, no, don't mess with Bill)

[Outro]
Leave my Billy alone
(Don't mess with Bill)
Oh, get a guy of your own
(Don't mess with Bill)
'Cause he's mine all mine
(Don't mess with Bill)
Yes, I say it one more time
(Don't mess with Bill)
Oh, don't you mess with Bill
