[Verse 1]
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, no, 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
[Chorus]
William, William, it was really nothing
William, William, it was really nothing
It was your life
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Woah, William, William, it was really nothing
William, William, oh-oh-oh-oh-woah
Woah-oh, oh-oh
