Betty Jo, you made it plain, when first you held me near 
Even though you caused me pain, you were all the world to me 
We made love, we had such fun, many fine times went by us 
Now it's all so hazy and a little bit crazy 
Betty Jo my heart's on fire, I don't need this crying 
The next time you see me, in the back seat of a taxi's where I'll be


Betty called me in to say goodnight 
Much to my relief and pure delight 
I think that was my big love scene 
I do believe her engine run all right


Betty said get ready the time has come 
I was young and my good life had begun 
And with the dawn the child in me was gone 
Betty made a man out of me that night


Betty made my clothes and sewed my jeans 
Listening to my songs and foolish schemes 
I think the way she got to me 
It would seem like a laser beam right to the soul 


Betty my true love do what you do tonight 
Where she goes I hope she knows she's right 
The worst demand and the best of times 
She was never the kind to kick and bitch and fight 


Betty called me in to say goodnight 
Much to my relief and pure delight 
And with the dawn the child in me was gone 
But it made a man out of me that night  
I think that was my big love scene 
I do believe her engine run all right
