Lyrics
Betty
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've got a quick snap lock on your cold, cold heart
You've got your ysl kicks and a red birthmark
In the shape of Canada
That you try to keep a secret
You've got a click clack walk and a cold hard stare
And if your eyes could talk they'd say they just don't care
Before they wander off
To hide inside their sockets
You've got your scars and you've got your birthmarks
You've got Toronto hiding on your hip, honey
You've got your secrets
You've got your regrets
Darling, we all do
You've got a fool proof plan for a lonely life
You won't be no one's daughter and no drunk man's wife
If a wife at all
It's a silly institution
Or so you keep insisting
You've got your scars and you've got your birthmarks
You've got Toronto hiding on your hip, honey
You've got your secrets
You've got your regrets
Darling, we all do
You're cool coy 'bout your strawberry hip
It's you that's hidden by the expectations
We wanna see you, won't you show us where to start?
You're talking trash with your replica lips
It's you that's echoing the conversation
Sweet Betty won't you show us who you are?
You've got your scars and you've got your birthmarks
You've got Toronto hiding on your hip, honey
You've got your secrets
You've got your regrets
Darling, we all do
You've got a quick snap lock on your cold, cold heart
