lyrics

When she was younger she didn't have any friends
She really was lost sad broken and again
she dreamed of ballerinas and sunshine from above and love

She picked one or two daisies as she walked home
To keep in her jacket when she was all alone
Knee deep in sadness of which there’s no escape for her
No escape for her

And when she dropped her books on the floor
They would laugh at her
By saying words she never sang before
And they had never heard
Standing up and running into what made her afraid

Betty's summer vacation
She's getting ready for fun
No more writing on paper
It's time to go out in the sun

Now you see Betty must find what she left behind
And what’s more when she cries she flies to unwind
Leaving or standing it's all up to her to be
Ahh yeah she goin’ be sitting’ there screaming excuses
For all them things she never got a chance to do
Life was so much easier before she met you
Making it harder and impossible to breath
So why don’t you get your stuff
And get your butt on outta here boy

And when she finally saw her eyes through the world
She was terrified
Then finding she’s somebody else’s girl
And had no where to hide
Waking up and falling asleep with nobody to blame

So please set Betty free
She ain’t the one to blame
So standing as the escalator walks
Speaking when nobody else could talk
Thinking of everything that reminds her of you

Betty's summer vacation
She's getting ready for fun
No more writing on paper
It's time to go out in the sun

Betty's summer vacation
She's getting ready for fun
No more writing on paper
It's time to go out in the sun
So come on out in the sun out in the sun
