[JACK SINGER]
I like taxis, I like trains
I like Brooklyn when it rains
But I love Betsy
I like walking after dark
I like jogs in Prospect Park
But I love Betsy
I like Shake Shack, I like MOMA
And New Jersey's ripe aroma
The parades when I see 'em and even the DMV
And the Brooklyn Bridge by bike
Heck, there's lots of stuff I like
But I love Betsy and she loves me
She likes hockey, no I swear
She likes guys with thinning hair
And I love Betsy (He loves Betsy)
She like pizza and Chinese
Louboutin's and mac 'n' cheese
God, I love Betsy (He loves Betsy)
She likes swimming, writing letters
She likes watching double-headers
She drinks bourbon and sake and even likes Rocky III
I'm amazed and I'm impressed
But the thing that I love best is I love Betsy
And she loves me
Five years
I've been in love with Betsy for five years
I can't believe she stuck with me, what kind of luck have I got
To keep someone like her around?
Ten years
My mom's been dead already for ten years
And since she put that curse on me
No, there's no curse, it's not a curse, forget I said curse
The point is it's been long enough
Now it's time to grow up
Mom's in the ground
And look what I've found
I like dancing on the pier
I like Broadway, once a year
But I love Betsy
I like visits to the zoo
I like opera, that's not true
But I love Betsy
It's been five years and I'm ready
Get the sparklers and confetti
Give a wink to the waiter and summon the maître d'
Just like Jay-Z and Beyoncé
I will make her my fiancé
I love Betsy (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
I love Betsy (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
I love Betsy (Ah-ah)
And Betsy loves me (Ooh-ooh)
I'm a schmuck and Betsy loves me (Ooh-ooh)
Doesn't matter what I do, I know it's true
I could never live without her (You could never live without her)
Betsy loves me
It's amazing
Betsy loves me (Ah-ah)
And tonight I'm gonna show her
Just how proud I am to know her
There's no danger, there's no drama
There's no curse and there's no mama
Put my problems in the past (La-la-la-la-la-la)
I'm a grown-up man at last (La-la-la-la-la-la)
I'm the luckiest guy from the Bronx to the Island
So laugh if you wanna, this whole town is gonna see (See, see, see)
That I love Betsy
Sorry mama, I love Betsy
And she loves me
