I could be the lover

Of anybody but her

I see her every morning

And watch her fingers forming

Shapes that are as graceful

As a baby's face full

Of hope until it turns to

A neediness that burns through

Your heart like it was b___er

In the mouth of someone's mother

A certain scent of perfume

Makes me think of her room

And how I've never been there

Lightly touching her bare

Back and gently soaking

In the sweet unspoken

I could be her lover

If it weren't for Mother

BETTY! BETTY!

If you met me, you'd forget me

BETTY! BETTY!

I am so shy, every day I

Secretly cry since my mom died

I could be the lover

Of anybody but her

I could be her lover

If it weren't for Mother
