BETTY

Oh, I'm different, I'm a cup of mild sauce
 Sweet tongue, but don't get me in a paper cut
 I'll fight you with my eyes, oh, when they call me shy
 They just frightened of what's in my mind
 These great greats won't let me lie
 Midnight eyes wide feels like I'm at the riverside
 Great greats come down, they whisper to me quiet
 "I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive"
 I am not your typical girl
 Throw away that picture in your head
 I am not your typical girl
 Work harder now, work harder
 Running from myself, I come undone
 I wait, I try
 Falling for myself
 It's taken time to know I'm mine
 Oh, I am different, I am different
 I am, I am
 What is it with you independent men? It's always something
 Threatening your masculine energy, you think it's fleeting
 Nothing you ain't give to me I can take away from you now
 Let me be, I'm trying to fly, you insist on clipping my wings
 Running from myself, I come undone
 I wait, I try
 Falling for myself
 It's taken time to know I'm mine
 Curl in the middle of my forehead, I'm bad
 Take a picture if you want me quiet, I said
 Sweet like the candy in Joycetta's purse on Sunday
 But I'm bitter when you try to hold me back
