Betty's Body

Anybody but Betty
 Anybody but Betty
 Anybody but Betty
 Anybody but Betty
 I could be the lover
 Of anybody but her
 I could be the lover
 Of anybody but her
 I see her every morning
 And watch her fingers forming
 Shapes that are as graceful
 As a baby's face full of hope
 Until it turns to
 A neediness that burns through
 Your heart like it was butter
 In the mouth of someone's mother
 Betty's body, Betty's body
 Betty's body, Betty's body
 A certain scent of perfume
 Makes me think of her room
 And how I'd like to be there
 Lightly touching her bare back
 And gently soaking
 In the sweet unspoken
 I could be her lover
 If it, if it weren't for mother
 Betty, Betty
 If you met me, you'd forget me
 Betty, Betty
 I am so shy, every day I
 Secretly cry since my mom died
 Anybody but Betty
 Anybody but Betty
 Anybody but Betty
 Anybody but Betty
 I could be the lover
 Of anybody but her
 I could be her lover
 If it, if it weren't for mother
