Lyrics of William, It Was Really Nothing by The Smiths
verse
The rain falls hard on a humdrum town
This town has dragged you down
Oh, the rain falls hard on a humdrum town
This town has dragged you down
verse
Oh no, and everybody's got to live their life
And God knows I've got to live mine
God knows I've got to live mine
pre-chorus
William, William, it was really nothing
William, William, it was really nothing
It was your life
chorus
How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say
"Oh, would you like to marry me?
And if you like, you can buy the ring"
She doesn't care about anything
chorus
Would you like to marry me?
And if you like, you can buy the ring
I don't dream about anyone except myself
outro
Oh, William, William, it was really nothing
William, William, oh-oh-oh-oh
Writer(s): Steven Patrick Morrissey, Johnny Marr
