I've been noticing Lillian for a long time Her life always seemed too hard She always played that foolish part Foxy woman, I won't make her mine She's been mistreated 28 years Can you blame her for her fears? She's gone for lots of men who came her way She'd swallow all the pretty things they'd say One day she looked at found they've gone away She's had no luck so what do I do? Sing a song to you, about Lillian (About Lillian) There must be something I can do, about Lillian (About Lillian) Got to give her love (Love) And hope she'll take it So we can make it Got to live her love (Love) And hope she'll take it So we can make it Something nice (Nice), something right (Right) For me and Lillian I bought that woman daffodils and roses too (Roses too) She wouldn't let me in the door She said "I know what you're looking for You just want to hurt me like those others do (Like the others do) I know I really need a man But I got all the loving I can stand" She still feels the hurt and pain of all the years She just can't lose it (Just can't lose it) Can't escape her fears I'd like to soothe her and wash away her fears I've had bad luck so what do I do?
