[Verse 1]
There was a girl who loved a biker
She used to follow him across America
But the biker didn't like her
She didn't care, she still persisted
Though her brother said she was twisted
And the family said they wouldn't miss her
Anyway

[Chorus]
She loved the biker like an icon
Gazing at his picture everyday
She loved the biker like an icon
Slowly watching precious water drip away

[Verse 2]
She did her best to fix a meeting
She pulled it off one night in Hollywood
When he met her he couldn't let her get away
He didn't ask for her permission
He took advantage of her position
But he was always her ambition
Anyway

[Chorus]
She loved the biker like an icon
Gazing at his picture everyday
She loved the biker like an icon
Slowly watching precious water drip away

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
She loved the biker like an icon
Slowly watching precious water drip away

[Verse 3]
The family tried so hard to find her
They showed her picture across America
But no trace of her sweet face
Was ever found

[Chorus]
She loved the biker like an icon
Gazing at his picture everyday
She loved the biker like an icon
Slowly watching precious water drip away

[Outro]
She loved the biker like an icon
Slowly watching precious water drip away
She loved the biker like an icon
Slowly watching precious water drip away
She loved the biker like an icon

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
