Portrait Of Betty

Okay, well I know what she means to me

But what does she mean to you?

She is not like any girl, i'm sorry, woman you could possibly have known

And she has something, what? A quality,

A thousand strong opinions of her own

And from the moment that she says, i'm betty, hi!

Then she takes your hand and looks you in the eye

You will never be the person that you were before you met her

She is strong, she is smart

Open mind, open heart

She is fun, like a lot

All the cool perfect things that I am not

She is not afraid to fight

For all the people who cannot defend themselves

And she's read every book the library has listed,

I mean on and off the shelves.

She will help old ladies cross a busy street

Win a dozen games of chess and never cheat

And she'll shower you with kindness and affection if you let her

If you let her.

She has spunk, she has spine, she's a saint, bottom line Volunteers, 'cause she cares

Human rights, world affairs

She can sing like a pro, steal your heart, stop the show Speaks Chinese, just because

She's the well-rounded girl I never was.

Everything that I aspire to-

Things she does that no one else will do

Makes me wanna ask her if i met her

What it takes to be a ten times better me

I would stand on my head to be her like i said

Half as brave, half as good. Could I be? Yes, i could!

 

She is warm, she is wise

And that face! And those eyes! She is kind, like a lot

All the things I am not

But I'll learn, yes i will I won't stop, not until people see what I see

Betty Boop

The best of her in me.
