My Best Bet

I know the coolest girl
She's my Best Bet
She likes to niff and stritch and mlerm
And consume, consume
She's my Betty
I'm living in her cottage
And I don't pay rent
I know I'm gonna lose her but I won't forget her face
Or brindle
(Lurchers always lurchin'
I swapped her for an old black fucker that was getting me down)
Cerberus has been euthanised while Betty lives on defiantly
Now there's just one thing I need to shake
She's my Best Bet
We stared into each other's eyes with full attention
For quite some time — our only dialogue affection
Oh
She's channelling
What I need to see: a better me
Betty's bettering me
But she really belongs with someone else
No, it isn't gonna last
I've been living that cottage life
Dogsitting and making a record
Man, it's been a blast
We stared into each other's eyes with full attention
For quite some time — our only dialogue affection
Oh
She's channelling
What I need to see: a better me
To call you 'good girl' is not enough
When I respect your freedom of spirit
You freak out at my entrance just because
You show your love; you do not fear it
Reaffirm my long-estranged sense of self
And rearrange egotistical values
Remind me that love is still something of which I'm capable
But whether I love is not something that is debatable
I hope that you don't forget or resent me
I'll miss you both
To call you 'good girl' is not enough
When I respect your freedom of spirit
You freak out at my entrance just because
You show your love; you do not fear it
Reaffirm my long-estranged sense of self
And rearrange egotistical values
Remind me that love is still something of which I'm capable
But whether I love is not something that is debatable
I hope that you don't forget or resent me
I'll miss you both
I'll miss you both
