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
