lyrics

Cruel Betty Cruel (yeah-yeah-yeah)
Cruel Betty Cruel (yeah-yeah-yeah)
Cruel Betty Cruel (yeah-yeah-yeah)

I’m gonna tell what has happened to me
Ever since I met that cruel Betty
It started when I asked her to the dance one night
I was all shook up and nervous with fright

We danced and we danced beneath the stars and the skies
Then I held her hand until the sun did rise
When I tried to kiss her well I gotta surprise
She told me I was just like the other guys

Well I begged her and pleaded but she wouldn’t give in
To kiss her on the first date you know is a sin
She made me feel like a silly fool
And all I could say was Cruel Betty Cruel

Let me tell you people you better beware
Of a brown eyed beauty with long black hair
She’s only out to get you and to make you a fool
So when you see her just say Cruel Betty Cruel

Well I begged her and pleaded but she wouldn’t give in
To kiss her on the first date you know was a sin
She made me feel like a silly fool
And all I could say was Cruel Betty Cruel

Let me tell you people you better beware
Of a brown eyed beauty with long black hair
She’s only out to get you and to make you a fool
So when you see her just say Cruel Betty Cruel

Cruel Betty Cruel (yeah-yeah-yeah)
Cruel Betty Cruel (yeah-yeah-yeah)
Betty Betty Cruel (yeah-yeah-yeah)
Betty I Love You (yeah-yeah-yeah)
What Must I do (yeah-yeah-yeah)
Betty, Betty, Betty, Betty, Betty, Betty
Betty, Betty, Betty, Betty, Betty, Betty
