Story Behind The Song

The melody line and chord progression of this song are based on the traditional song, "Greensleaves". I have always been attracted to the macho type of woman, and here's my scenario as to what might happen if I was actually to date one.

Song Description

a man revisits all the reasons he's breaking up with his girlfriend, and determines that although he really loves this person, she acts too much like a guy for him to be with her.

Lyrics

Alas, my love,
I remember well
when it was
our eyes first met.
You?d just dealt
your lover a harsh farewell,
you turned,
you smiled
and cast your net.

Alas, my love,
from that point on,
together, forever,
our company.
Nothing ever
could go wrong.
Then he emerged
so suddenly.

Dear Betty,
I loved you then.
Dear Betty,
I love you now.
Dear Betty,
I can?t believe
I might have to leave
you, Dear Betty.

It started that day
at the football game.
You insisted on going.
You paraded your breasts
to the home team,
even though it was snowing.

And then there?s that time
when we went for a beer
and a rack of ribs
at the Meat Pit.
You belched
then farted
for all to hear,
and told everyone
that I did it.

Dear Betty,
I loved you then.
Dear Betty,
I love you now.
Dear Betty,
you embarrassed me,
but I gave you a chance,
Dear Betty.

And then last night
I confessed to you
my dreams,
my fears,
my hopes for us.
You shut me up
with that look
that you threw,
and motioned to me
with a pelvic thrust.

You then tied me tight
to the bed posts,
climbed on top,
shoved my manhood
deep inside.
You thrusts almost crushed
my pelvic bone,
and you didn?t once
look me in the eye.

Dear Betty,
I loved you then.
Dear Betty,
I love you now.
Dear Betty,
I really need more.
You don?t respect me,
Dear Betty.

Alas, my love
I have to say,
things must change
this very day.
If not I?ll simply
have to leave.
You?re far too much
man for me.

Dear Betty,
I loved you then.
Dear Betty,
I love you now.
No, wait,
don?t be angry.
She?s gone.
All gone.
Dear Betty
