Listen to me, Lil', and to what I've got to tell ya.
I've been through the mill and I don't want to sell ya,
But the game of love is hard to understand,
So here's some good advice.
Never overplay your hand.
Don't gild the lily, Lily.
Don't let him know he's your only thrill
Even though he knocks ya silly
When he looks at you with his eyes of blue.
Don't gild the lily, Lily.
Don't overdo on the sweet talk too.
If you act a little chilly,
He'll be hangin' round warming up to you.
Oh, Lil', I know what I say
'Cause I've been through the mill,
So don't gild the lily, Lil'.
Oh, Lil', I know what I say
'Cause I've been through the mill,
So don't gild the lily, Lil'.
Organ solo
Don't gild the lily, Lily.
Don't let him know he's your only thrill
Even though he knocks ya silly
When he looks at you with his eyes of blue.
Oh, Lil', I know what I say
'Cause I've been through the mill,
So don't gild the lily, Lil'.
Oh, Lil', I know what I say
'Cause I've been through the mill.
So don't gild the lily, Lil'.
Oh-wo-wo-wo-wo,
So don't gild the lily, Lil'.
Oh-wo-wo-wo-wo,
So don't gild the lily, Lil'.
