I run at things too fast, only give them half a chance Say what you want, say what you will, but it’s true I’m far too lazy, I do enough, but do nothing more I like to drink, I like to play, do you too?
Until I knew her I never knew what a woman can do did what she want, what she will, is it true? She holds her own, she holds mine too, we do a merry dance Do what we want, do what we will, do you too?
I brush her hair, and it crackles with the static I never meant to kiss her, it was purely automatic She’s my angel, she’s my Betty Blue She’s my best friend She’s my best friend
Her fingers drumming time, drumming time, drumming on my beating heart I got it good, I’ve got it bad – it’s true
You never know just what the blues are like until you take a taste of the sweet life I found an angel, a reason to smile A best friend
She’s gone, she’s out of sight, she’s my love me tender, my P.G. fright, my lady day in the dead of night I found an angel, a reason to smile a best friend My best friend She’s my best friend
