Got a call from the doctor
He said hold on my friend
You’ve gotta know what I’m knowing
Please come right away

He said Lucy’s been seeing me
And things just ain’t right
You’ll have to hold things together
‘Cos Lucy ain’t much time

Now should I tell her or keep it inside
Making her happy by feeding her lines
How am I gonna tell the children
That Mama’s goin’ away
I couldn’t love another woman
Oh Lucy please stay

If I’m gonna lose you
After all this time
I’m gonna make life more beautiful
I’m gonna make you make you feel fine

If we make tomorrow
We’ll make it better every way
We’ll keep on building
‘Cos we’re living day to day

I couldn’t love another woman
Lucy please stay

Baby baby
Baby Lucy please oh won’t you stay

I need you I need you
Please don’t go please don’t go
Lucy please please won’t you stay

I want you to know that I love you
I love you
I’m gonna miss your sweet love
Lucy won’t you stay

I need you, I need you.
Please don’t go, please don’t go.
Lucy, please, please, won’t you stay?

I want you to know that I love you.
I love you.
I’m gonna miss your sweet love.
Lucy, won’t you stay?

About Lyrics and Lucy by The Hollies

The lyrics for Lucy are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1975 song by The Hollies. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Lucy have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Lucy - The Hollies and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Lucy by The Hollies in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Lucy" means the words set to the music of Lucy, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Hollies. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Lucy and the lyrics to Lucy are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of The Hollies who came here looking just for the lyrics to Lucy, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
