lyrics
Dear Holly
I apologize
I've been telling lies
And you've gotten wise
Oh Holly
I never meant you harm
It's just romance & charm
With somebody new
And I'm sorry that you fell
Although you should have known just as well that
You're just a hobby Holly
You're just a hobby Holly
You're just a hobby Holly
You're just a hobby
And poor Holly
You were always true
And I don't blame you
I would hate me too
Say Holly
If you give it time
I'm sure you'll find
Someone who still can be kind
And I'm sorry that you fell
But you should have known just as well that
You're just a hobby Holly
You're just a hobby Holly
You're just a hobby Holly
You're just a hobby
And I'm sorry that you fell
but you should have known just as well that
You're just a hobby Holly
You're just a hobby Holly
You're just a hobby Holly
You're just a hobby
Holly hobby
Holly hobby
Holly hobby
Holly hobby
