Betty Lyrics
[Intro]
Betty, I really hope you're on my side
I really hope you get it
Betty, I really hope you're on my side
I really hope you get it
[Verse 1]
I tried to get my shit together
Now you want a break 'cause I'm not ready for forever
I wonder if you hate me
I bet I hate me more
Oh, trust me, I'd give anything to tell you that I'm sure
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna lose you, I'm just thinking out loud
[Chorus]
So could you call me back, hello, hello?
I'm trying to work this out
I know your friends say when you know, you know
I just don't know right now
So could you call me back, hello, hello?
I'm trying to work this out
I know your friends say when you know, you know
I just don't know right now
[Post-Chorus]
Betty, I really hope you're on my side
I really hope you get it
[Verse 2]
Next time you see your folks at dinner
Just ask your mom to please stop pointin' at your finger
I know she calls me son now
Your dad, he calls me kid
I'm sorry I'm not man enough to face them both like this
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't read my last two messages, I barely slept an hour
[Chorus]
So could you call me back, hello, hello?
I'm trying to work this out
I know your friends say when you know, you know
I just don't know right now
Or could you give me just a year or so?
I'll straighten out my head
I know your friends say when you know, you know
So maybe, maybe I'll know then
[Post-Chorus]
Betty, I really hope you're on my side
I really hope you get it
Betty, I really hope you're on my side
I really hope you get it
[Bridge]
I don't know
I don't know
Betty, I really hope you're on my side
I really hope you get it
Betty, I really hope you're on my side
I really hope you get it
[Outro]
Betty, I really hope you get it right
I just don't know right now
Betty, I really hope you get it right
I just don't know right now
Betty, I really hope you get it right

Betty is now yours. This song came out of some deep conversations we had about grappling with the idea of forever, which has become a huge theme on the whole What No One’s Thinking EP (which comes out AUGUST 29TH!!!)
Love you guys, love that we get to ask difficult questions for a living ❤️
