Lyrics
Willy's gonna tell me why he's talkin funny to me.
Willy's gonna show me just how sweet it can be.
Tried everything that a man can do.
Tried everything to make his dreams come true.
Chorus: I see the changes were long overdue.
Something to see him the whole way through.
Willy started runnin, he saw the walls closin in.
Feelin scared and lonely, what a world of pain he was in.
Saw everything that a man can see.
Read everything at the local library.
Chorus
Bridge: Willy put the plug in the jug and really started to dance. Wakin up, makin up, shakin up and makin romance.
Now he's doin better, feelin like a human again.
Hangin with the program, lookin like the genuine thing.
Tried everything that a man can do.
Tried everything to make his dreams come true.
Chorus
