Lilly, laughing lady
Does your smile disguise the tears inside?
Lilly, lonely lady
Only silhouette your happy side
You give yourself to men who take your love
Then smile and watch them walk away...
Are you tired of giving Lilly?
Are you really happy?
Lilly, laughing lady
Are you satisfied to live a lie?
Lilly, lonely lady
Is it in the stars for you to try?
Do you fulfill yourself with lies and dreams?
You seem contented with your life?
Does it only gild the lilly
Or does it make you happy?
Does your smile disguise the tears inside?
Lilly, lonely lady
Only silhouette your happy side
You give yourself to men who take your love
Then smile and watch them walk away...
Are you tired of giving Lilly?
Are you really happy?
Lilly, laughing lady
Are you satisfied to live a lie?
Lilly, lonely lady
Is it in the stars for you to try?
Do you fulfill yourself with lies and dreams?
You seem contented with your life?
Does it only gild the lilly
Or does it make you happy?
