Betty when I first met you, we were young and full of dreams
But time is like an accident, it's faster than it seems
But you know I'll never let you go cause you're my bestest friend
Betty won't you be with me till the end?
Betty you've got to realise that I love you more than then
Though I can see it in your eyes that you think I'm drunk again
But you know that I'm gonna be with you until my dying day
Betty do you love me when you say:
"You poor old sod you drink too much
your eyes are filled with blood
Ask me, and of course I'll
take you home"
Betty don't the room look strange when you've had a bite to drink
My senses they've been rearranged so at long last I can think
And I think I'll always love you and with you I'll always stay
Betty do you love me when you say:
"You poor old sod you drink too much
your eyes are filled with blood
Ask me, and of course I'll
take you home"
Now Betty one plus one is one, and six times four is eight
And I promise in the morning that I'll mend our garden gate
And I'll be so good tomorrow that you'll forget about today
Betty do you love me when you say:
"You poor old sod you drink too much
your eyes are filled with blood
Ask me, and of course I'll
take you home"
Take me home now Betty please, I think the night is done
Won't you help me get up from my knees and in bed before the sun
Comes shining down over those hills and starts another day
O Betty do you mean it when you say:
"You poor old sod you drink too much
your eyes are filled with blood
Ask me, and of course I'll
take you home"
