lyrics

Betty Lou

some things just never change
wish it was a rainy day
the sun's beating down on my brain
and i 've been doing lots of thinking

been up for a couple nights
sometimes it just feels right
like when you know you're gonna lose a fight
but you still go down swinging

betty lou's got a new pair of shoes
betty lou's got a new pair of shoes
betty lou's got a new pair of shoes
and she knows just how to use them

you could be the enemy
femme fatale with a melody
either way you've got a hold on me
and that's just why i worry

but honey you should know
i ditched my heart and sold my soul
it's not so bad to be a ghost
so go on and try to hurt me

betty lou's got a new pair of shoes
betty lou's got a new pair of shoes
betty lou's got a new pair of shoes
and she knows just how to use them

some things just never change
wish i could ease everybody's pain
my old self has gone away
my flight has departed

but i know that i'lll be alright
stick around baby if you'd like
maybe i'll even see the light
but honey i love my darkness

betty lou's got a new pair of shoes
betty lou's got a new pair of shoes
betty lou know just what to do
she knows just how to use me

betty lou's got a new pair of shoes
betty lou's got a new pair of shoes
betty lou's gonna walk up soon
i bet she knows just how to lose me
