Sonny Boy Lyrics - Singles - Owsley

Take Sonny, he's a real go-getter 

A regular man about town 

He's got the world revolving around the music 

And keeping his ear to the ground 

He falls asleep behind his dark sunglasses 

And whispers the words with a smile 

D I double G, I love you, baby 

I ain't seen your face in awhile 

She ain't keeping score 

He don't owe her anything 

She ain't gonna sit around 

Waiting for the phone to ring 

Sonny Boy, don't take your toys away 

Save them for a rainy day, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I O U could break her heart in two 

She thought you were the real McCoy, Sonny Boy 

He's got his servant and his own dumb waiter 

To answer the phone when you call 

I'm sorry, Sonny's underneath the weather 

Try him back later next fall 

Boss called him out to California 

Let Hollywood make you a star 

Now he's on the Music Television 

And driving a Cadillac car 

Funny how fame 

And money does what it can 

To bring about change in the boy 

The clothes don't make the man 

Sonny Boy, don't take your toys away 

Save them for a rainy day, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I O U could break her heart in two 

She thought you were the real McCoy, Sonny Boy 

It's a game you just can't win 

Though it never will be the same again 

Fair-weather friend 

I don't think we've heard the last of Sonny 

He can't get it off of his mind 

He wants to laugh, but he don't think it's funny 

A conscience can turn on a dime 

When he was a boy 

They taught him the Golden Rule 

Take him for anything 

But don't take him for a fool 

Sonny Boy, don't take your toys away 

Save them for a rainy day, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I O U could break her heart in two 

She thought you were the real McCoy 

Sonny Boy, don't take your toys away 

Save them for a rainy day, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I O U could break her heart in two 

She thought you were the real McCoy, Sonny Boy 

Don't save it 'til the morning after 

Don't save it 'til the morning after, Sonny Boy 

Don't save it 'til the morning after, Boy 

Don't save it 'til the morning after
