Betty Smiled Lyrics

Betty smiled when they told her she might make it

She said it's wild to think my life could be this way

You know fame is fortune's brother

Right when any working mother with a child

Gets a chance and say she'll take it

So Betty smiled

Betty cried when they called back for a callback

She nearly died when she heard the judge's voice

You know fame's on the horizon

Like a star that's slowly rising with the tide

Feeling pride in all its choices

So Betty smiled

Betty smiled

Got her makeup done and hair brushed out and styled

Go on out and knock 'em dead

Just sing the song inside your head

And drive 'em wild, get 'em riled

Betty smiled

Betty's trial was by fire and fear and fashion

All the while she could see them in their chairs

Now the fame is their decision

And she has to share their vision, at least try

Or it's goodbye to all that passion

Betty lies on the bed feeling nothing

Though she tried, in the end she felt the sting

Then her girl comes rushing in

Sporting some unruly grin

Saying mom, sing the song that sounds like springtime

So Betty smiled

Betty smiled

Got her makeup done and hair brushed out and styled

Go on out and knock 'em dead

Just sing the song inside your head

And drive 'em wild, get 'em riled

Betty smiled

Drive 'em wild, get 'em riled

Betty smiled

Drive 'em wild, get 'em riled

Betty smiled
