lyrics

Her smile’s a ray of sunlight
Like she practiced it till she got it right
Like a movie star on opening night
Light shines right from her hair
Spotlight on her everywhere
She goes, she goes, she goes

Cute clothes on a perfect body
She’s at the center of every party
She’s friends with everybody
She knows, she knows, she knows

She spends all day and night
With people so she won’t be alone
But when she goes to sleep
She wonders if she’ll ever really be known
She never lets anybody in
Let them see the black behind the thin façade
And I don’t think it’s true
That she’s as happy as she says she is to you

She’s got every connection
That you’ll never make, a network of perfection
She wears her pearls everyday
She’ll say they’re nothing in her careless way
But when she fingers them, her eyes betray her

Acts gracious and is always nice
But her friendship comes at its own price
Thanks you once but never twice
Then she goes, she goes, she goes
And she knows, she knows, she knows

She spends all day and night
With people so she won’t be alone
But when she goes to sleep
She wonders if she’ll ever really be known
She never lets anybody in
Let them see the black behind the thin façade
And I don’t think it’s true
That she’s as happy as she says she is to you

about

BettySoo Austin, Texas

In the past ten years, BettySoo zigzagged her way across the North American and European continents dozens of times. The Austin American-Statesman says BettySoo has "exceptionally well-arranged songs, as easily equal in precision to, say, Patty Griffin or Alison Krauss…a confidence that speaks volumes,” and KUT praises her "beautiful, heart-wrenching songs that are also edgy and unwavering." ... more
