VERSE 1
This is my place
These are my guys
And I'm not getting up cause you walked on in
This is my night
This is my time
And I'm not calling you my girl again
REFRAIN 1
You followed me here
Way across town
Cry in your own beer, Betty Brown!
VERSE 2
You told your mom
You told the girls
That we were getting an engagement ring
You're never here
You're never home
And it's not love if you don't feel a thing
REFRAIN 2
I'm not sobbin'
I'm not down.
You're not my problem, Betty Brown!
(MIDDLE)
I don't believe
I ever thought
You looked like a million in cash.
But if you did
You stole it all
And left this loser flat.
LEAD
REFRAIN 3
We didn't get too far
Off a' the ground.
I see what you are now, Betty Brown!
