Betty Called Me In Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

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 of times 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 

Betty made a man out of me that night 

I think that was my big love scene 

I do believe her engine run all right
