i felt the stare i met your eyes
and that skin i recognize
the city stars my beating heart
the party lights you're with your friends
is that your girl? i'll pretend
you touch my hair i take you home

pretty brown betty are you gonna be my girl?
betty are you ready for me it's such a lonely world
and i want you i can think of nothing else
i'll do what i got to just to get you for myself

you played guitar that night
when i finally kiss your lips i'll get it right
the city starts my beating heart

pretty brown betty...

what my thoughts alone could do
i could rip myself in two
i could lay down next to her
just like deborah kerr at the edge of the world

pretty brown betty
