LYRICS
B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.
B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.
B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.
B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.

As i walk this line, i am bound by the other side
and it's for my heart that i'll live
cause you'll never die.
Well if you want to know me, i'm a war. (B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.)
Come paint. (B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.)

Nothing you can say can tear me away from my guy.
Nothing you can do cause i'm stuck like glue to my guy.
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter,
like birds of a feather, we stick together.
I'm telling you from the start, i won't be torn apart from my guy.

Nothing you can buy could make me tell a lie to my guy.
Nothing you could do could make me untrue to my guy.
I gave my guy my word of honour to be faithful and i'm gonna.
You best be believing, I won't be deceiving my guy.

As a matter of opinion I think he's tops.
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop.
As a matter of taste to be exact,
he's my dear as a matter of fact.
No muscle-bound man can tear me away from my guy.

Birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather.
