Billy was a young boy   Who's fate did decree   That he would like only other boys   So being with a boy came to him naturally   Billy was a green boy   His thoughts so naive   He wondered why he was so victimised   And his fear brought him close to me suddenly      But      Billy my friend   Don't fall in love with me   I'm not that kind of guy   But I'll stand by your side   If you need me to be      But      Billy my friend   Don't fall in love with me   Though it can't be wrong to be   To be what you are      Billy was a sick boy   His life fading to grey   He tried to grab for straws of family   But his loved ones turned young Billy away   Billy died a young man   His face to the wind   And of the things I regret the most   Was seeing how hate and fear killed a friend      But      Billy my friend   Don't fall in love with me   I'm not that kind of guy   But I'll stand by your side   If you need me to be      But      Billy my friend   Don't fall in love with me   Though it can't be wrong to be   To be what you are
