Blue Betty Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Blue Betty takes herself down
To the shadiest part of town
Where the thieves and killers run
Lonely daughters and forgotten sons
[Pre-Chorus]
Upon the bridge and there's no one around
Blue Betty's gonna figure it out
[Chorus]
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
Shе shakes and moves
She shakеs and moves
Until she's done
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Upon the wire where the blue birds fly
Blue Betty starts to climb
She sees the world in space and time
Our Betty had a colourful mind
Blue Betty takes herself down
To the shadiest part of town
Where the thieves and killers run
Lonely daughters and forgotten sons
[Pre-Chorus]
Upon the bridge and there's no one around
Blue Betty's gonna figure it out
[Chorus]
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
Shе shakes and moves
She shakеs and moves
Until she's done
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Upon the wire where the blue birds fly
Blue Betty starts to climb
She sees the world in space and time
Our Betty had a colourful mind
[Pre-Chorus]
You know daddy said it best
Nobody else is gonna clean up your mess
[Chorus]
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
Until she's done
Until she's done
Until she's done
Until she's done
[Bridge]
No more longing, no more games
No wicked feelings and nothing to stress about
No conversations, no one gets hurt
No more sadness and nothing to stress about
No more parties and no more hurt
No anxious nice words and nothing to stress about
Nothing to stress about
You know daddy said it best
Nobody else is gonna clean up your mess
[Chorus]
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
Until she's done
Until she's done
Until she's done
Until she's done
[Bridge]
No more longing, no more games
No wicked feelings and nothing to stress about
No conversations, no one gets hurt
No more sadness and nothing to stress about
No more parties and no more hurt
No anxious nice words and nothing to stress about
Nothing to stress about
[Chorus]
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
[Outro]
Until she's done
Until she's done (She's done)
Until she's done
Until she's done (She's done)
Until she's done
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
[Outro]
Until she's done
Until she's done (She's done)
Until she's done
Until she's done (She's done)
Until she's done
