There's a new girl in.. my life
A girl that cannot.. be my wife
But in my heart there will always be
A special place for my girl Betty
A very special place for my girl Betty

My life has changed in the.. past two months
Now it's a little brighter
Since Betty came.. into my life
My heart is just a little lighter..

There's a new girl in.. my life
A girl that cannot.. be my wife
But in my heart there will always be
A special place for my girl Betty
A very special place for my girl Betty

The hours I spend with.. Betty now
Hold a special meaning for me
It's nice to have a friend.. like her
Her friend I'll always want to be..

There's a new girl in.. my life
A girl that cannot.. be my wife
But in my heart there will always be
A special place for my girl Betty
A very special place for my girl Betty

Friends will come.. and friends will go
That's how life is today
I'll always remember.. my special girl
In a very special way..

There's a new girl in.. my life
A girl that cannot.. be my wife
But in my heart there will always be
A special place for my girl Betty
A very special place for my girl Betty
