Betty Called Me
Betty Jo, you made it plain
When first you held me near
Even though you caused me pain
You were all the world to me
We made love, we had such fun
Many fine times went by us
Now it's all so hazy
And a little bit crazy
Betty Jo, my heart's on fire
I don't need this crying
The next time you see me
The back seat of a taxi's where I'll be
Betty called me in to say goodnight
Much to my relief and pure delight
I think that was my big love scene
I do believe her engine run all right
Betty said, 'Get ready, the time has come'
I was young and the good life had begun

And with the dawn, the child in me was gone
But it made a man out of me that night
Betty made my clothes and sewed my jeans
Listened to my songs and foolish schemes
I think the way she got to me
Was aimed like a laser beam right to the soul
Betty, my true love, do what you do tonight
Where she goes I hope she knows she's right
The worst demand and the best of times
She was never the kind to kick and bitch and fight
Betty called me in to say goodnight
Much to my relief and pure delight
And with the dawn, the child in me was gone
But it made a man out of me that night
I think that was my big love scene
I do believe her engine run all right
