Songtexte Betty's Body - The Residents

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 a fire in the mouth of someone's mother
Betty's body, Betty's body
A scent of perfume makes me think of her room
How I'd like to be there lightly stroking her bare
Back and gently soaking in the sweet unspoken
I could be her lover if it weren't for mother
Betty's body, Betty's body
Betty, Betty, if you met me
You'd forget me
Betty, Betty, I am so shy
Every day I secretly cry
Since my mom died
I could be the lover of anybody but her
I could be her lover if it weren't for mother
