Consolation Prize - Lesley Gore

Consolation Prize Lyrics

When I lost Tommy
I won Billy as a consolation prize
The love he gave me really swayed me
It was shining in his eyes
Oh, Billy, poor Billy
Was my consolation prize
Cause I loved Tommy
I used Billy hoping that he would not get wise
Each time I'd meet him, I'd mistreat him
And tell him such a pack of lies
Oh, Billy, poor Billy
Was my consolation prize
Although Billy was tender
And Billy was always there

I kept wishing Tommy's lips
They were mine, all mine to share
Then I heard Tommy
Lost his sweetheart but when he called I realized
That I loved Billy, only Billy
What a blessing in disguise
Oh, Tommy, hey, Tommy
Go ahead and get yourself
A consolation prize
Oh, Tommy, hey, Tommy
Go ahead and get yourself
A consolation prize
