She Is His Only Need Lyrics - The Judds

Billy was a small town loner 

Who never did dream 

Of ever leaving Southern Arizona 

Or ever hearing wedding bells ring 

He never had a lot of luck with the ladies 

But he sure had a lot of good working skills 

Never cared about climbing any ladder 

He knew the way in a small cafe, found the will 

He met Miss Bonnie 

And a little bit of her was a little too much 

A few movies and a few months later 

The feeling got strong enough 

They didn't own a car 

So it must have been love 

That drove him uptown for a diamond 

And that's when he started going 

Over the line, working overtime 

To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve them 

But he loved her and he just kept going overboard 

Over the limit to afford to give her things he knew she wanted 

'Cause without her, where would he be? 

See, it's not for him, she is his only need 

Ring on her finger and one on the ladder 

A new promotion every now and then 

Bonnie worked until she couldn't tie her apron 

Then stayed at home and had the first of two children 

And my, how the time did fly 

The babies grew up and moved away 

Left them sitting on the front porch rocking 

And Billy watching Bonnie's hair turn gray 

And every once in a while you could see him get up 

And he'd head downtown 

'Cause he heard about something she wanted 

And it just had to be found 

Didn't matter how simple or how much 

It was love and boy 

Ain't that love just something 

When it's strong enough to keep a man going 

Over the line, working overtime 

To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve them 

But he loved her and he just kept going overboard 

Over the limit to afford to give her things he knew she wanted 

'Cause without her, where would he be? 

See, it's not for him, she is his only need 

Over the line, working overtime 

She is his only need 

Overboard, over the limit 

She is his only need
