Betty by Knightley Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Betty, you were in my dream
And now I hate you, like a lot
Cause I saw the way he looked at you
Don’t act like you forgot
You were sitting there at the piano
With you under his stare I was overshadowed
Betty, I know that it’s not your fault but
I really wish that you were gone
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not one for jealousy
Unless she’s prettier than me
No, I’m not the jealous type
I’m too prideful to fight
When I feel insecure but I saw the way
He was looking at her
[Chorus]
Bеtty, I’m sorry
I wish things were differеnt
But when I said to stay away
You should have listened
Take this passport and this bag
From me it’s all you’ll ever have
Stay away from him, Betty
Or I promise you’ll regret it
[Verse 2]
I looked for you everywhere, Betty, and I led you straight to him
Hindsight’s 20/20 I don’t know what I was thinking
With your long hair in a ribbon on a summer day
And your laugh like singing in the summer rain
He’d fall for you like stepping off the summit of a mountain peak
So it’s up to me to cut you down before he can even begin to climb
Betty I know it’s not your fault
But if you don’t leave I’ll make sure you’re gone
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not one for jealousy
But she’s prettier than me
And I’m not the jealous type
But I go out of my mind
When I feel insecure and I saw the way
He was looking at her
[Chorus]
Betty I’m sorry
I wish things were different
But when I said to stay away
You should have listened
Take this passport and this bag
From me it’s all you’ll ever have
Stay away from him Betty
Or I promise you’ll regret it
[Outro]
My edges are frayed and all my colours bleed
So there’s always gonna be another you
To take him away from me
Don’t tell me it’s all imaginary
When you’re just his type
And everyone loves you Betty
There’s not room for the two of us
I won’t stop until you’re gone
Betty, you were in my dream
And now I hate you, like a lot
Cause I saw the way he looked at you
Don’t act like you forgot
You were sitting there at the piano
With you under his stare I was overshadowed
Betty, I know that it’s not your fault but
I really wish that you were gone
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not one for jealousy
Unless she’s prettier than me
No, I’m not the jealous type
I’m too prideful to fight
When I feel insecure but I saw the way
He was looking at her
[Chorus]
Bеtty, I’m sorry
I wish things were differеnt
But when I said to stay away
You should have listened
Take this passport and this bag
From me it’s all you’ll ever have
Stay away from him, Betty
Or I promise you’ll regret it
[Verse 2]
I looked for you everywhere, Betty, and I led you straight to him
Hindsight’s 20/20 I don’t know what I was thinking
With your long hair in a ribbon on a summer day
And your laugh like singing in the summer rain
He’d fall for you like stepping off the summit of a mountain peak
So it’s up to me to cut you down before he can even begin to climb
Betty I know it’s not your fault
But if you don’t leave I’ll make sure you’re gone
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not one for jealousy
But she’s prettier than me
And I’m not the jealous type
But I go out of my mind
When I feel insecure and I saw the way

[Chorus]
Betty I’m sorry

But when I said to stay away
