Don't Gild The Lily, Lily Lyrics - Del Shannon

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

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' 

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
