[Verse 1]
Civilised plannin' on what you're gon' do
You're not really sure about him, that's true
Man stares out the window, out to the rain
Wants to go, he thinks he's got a life of pain
Well, I saw Betty, put her good right
Ah, what's the feelin'? What's the talkin'?
They whisper behind their back, it's a ploy
Their plan ain't workin', she's still like a motherfucker
[Chorus]
Ayy, ayy
It was livin' with Betty
Hey, oh yeah
That made me finally happy
Ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy
It was livin' with Betty
That made me finally see the sense to be
[Post-Chorus]
What we are
It's just movin' around and drivin' Joey's car
Never known the choice
And, "Jay, get us another round from the bar"
And we know exactly what we gots to do
When we come across you
Two fingers, and one of your own stuck right up your jacksy
[Verse 2]
It's what we thought
Pretty sure that no-one ever gave up
From your burnt fingers to smells that linger
To all others, brothers, sisters, baby mothers
To old young gunners and young gone sluts
And to all the people that don't get to pick up
To butts, to know, to never see
To have money, to be as poor as ladies
And I'm sittin' on the corner, lookin' so bored, and
A microphone's gettin' kicked on the floor, yeah
[Chorus]
Hey, hey
It was livin' with Betty
Hey, hey
That made me finally see a side of me
Ayy, ayy
It was livin' with Betty
Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy
That finally made me feel happy
Hey, hey
It was livin' with Betty
Hey, hey
That made me finally see a side of me
Ayy, ayy
It was livin' with Betty
Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy
That finally made me feel happy
[Post-Chorus]
And I know exactly what I got to do
Because you're talkin' to me too
Ah, oh-oh, uh-uh
But I see, there's no one else around me
That I can really trust to bust, to turn to back
To laugh, to lust, to have, to satisfaction
