Lyrics for William, It Was Really Nothing

The rain falls hard on a humdrum town This town has dragged you down Oh, the rain falls hard on a humdrum town This town has dragged you down Oh, no and everybody's got to live their life And God knows I've got to live mine God knows I've got to live mine William, William, it was really nothing William, William, it was really nothing It was your life How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say Oh, would you like to marry me? And if you like you can buy the ring She doesn't care about anything Would you like to marry me? And if you like you can buy the ring I don't dream about anyone except myself Oh, William, William, it was really nothing William, William, oh
