Don'€™t Gild the Lily, Lily Lyrics

INTRO: F Am Dm Bb C
#1.
Listen to me, Lil, and to what I've got to tell you.
I've been through the mill and I don't want to sell you.
But the game of love is hard to understand, so here's
some good advice, never overplay your hand.
CHORUS:
Don't gild the lily, Lily..don't let him know he's your
only thrill.
Even though he knocks you 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.
#2.
Oh, Lil, I know what I say, 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.
INTERLUDE: F Dm Bb C
CHORUS:
Don't gild the lily, Lily..don't let him know he's your
only thrill.
Even though he knocks you silly, when he looks at you
with his eyes of blue.
#3.
Oh, Lil, I know what I say, 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...(Fade.)
