Lyrics
They came at night, leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Now nobody knew where to find him
No evidence was found
"I'm never coming back"
I heard him cry and I believe him
Well, he never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long
Billy, Billy, don't you lose my number
'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you
Oh Billy, Billy, don't you lose my number
'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh no
Searching through the day and into the night
They wouldn't stop 'til they found him
They didn't know him and they didn't understand
They never asked him why
"Get out of my way"
I heard him shout, then a blinding light
Oh, all I could see was him running down the street
Out of the shadows and into the night
Now Billy, Billy, don't you lose my number
'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh
Oh no, Billy, Billy, don't you lose my number
'Cause you're not anywhere, no, that I can find you
Oh, don't give up
Keep running, keep hiding
Now don't give up
Oh Billy, if you know you're right
Don't give up
'Cause you know that I am on your side
Don't give up
Oh Billy, you better, you better, you better run for your life, oh-oh-oh
Now Billy, Billy, don't you lose my number
'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you
Oh Billy, Billy, don't you lose my number
'Cause you're not anywhere (no, no, no) that I can find you, oh
They came at night, leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him
No evidence was found
"I'm never coming back"
I heard him cry
And I believe him
'Cause he never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long
Now Billy, Billy, don't you lose my number
'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you
Oh Billy, Billy (ooh), don't you lose my number
'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you
Oh Billy, Billy, don't you lose my number
'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you
Oh Billy, Billy, don't you lose my number
'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you
Oh, Billy!
Merci beaucoup, bonsior, Paris
