Betty

(J. Brooks)

Oh Betty
You know I loved you so
I'm shattered
It hurt so much to see you go

Give me your heart, I'll keep it beating
And your blood will spill no more
Oh I want to love you Betty
But I can't
'Cause you closed the greatest of doors

Oh Betty
Don't tell heaven where you've been
Don't you know that needing love is not a sin

Give me your soul, I'll be it's keeper
And the words I speak will be yours
Oh I try to hate you Betty
But I can't
'Cause you closed the greatest of doors

And the leaves are starting to fall from the trees again
And I remember when
And autumn wind sang a song of a sin
But I wasn't ready
Oh Betty

Oh Betty
Don't tell heaven where you've been
Didn't you know that needing love is not a sin

Give me your heart, I'll keep it beating
And your blood will spill no more
Oh I want to love you Betty
But I can't
'Cause you closed the greatest of doors

You closed the greatest of doors
