The Residents - Betty's Body

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! (Anybody but Betty) If you met me, you'd forget me (Anybody but Betty) Betty! Betty! (Anybody but Betty) I am so shy, every day I (Anybody but Betty) 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 weren't for Mother.
