Leila Lyrics by Buzzy Linhart

The Time to Live Is Now

0

[Verse 1]
Here come Leila with her five and diamonds
And her nights of romance 'neath the green magnolias
Won't you get on by, Leila? Don't be slow
I ain't about to play that game with you no more

[Verse 2]
Uh-uh, Leila, don't you shake that thing
Make my eyes get hazy, make the church bells ring
Be gone, Leila, I can say no more
I will not, cannot play this game with you no more

[Verse 3]
Keep on a-movin' with your head held high
I am nobody's fool and you ain't all that sly
Keep on a-movin', I repeats fo' sho'
I do not wish to show you what this gun is fo'

[Outro]
Get on by, Leila, won't you get on by?
Just get on by, Leila, won't you get on by?
Get on by, Leila, get on by
Get on by, Leila, get on by
Get on by, Leila, get on by
Get on by, Leila, get on by
Get on by, Leila, get on by
Get on by, Leila, get on by...
