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 parade's 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
she likes pizza and Chinese
Louboutin's and mac'n'cheese
God, I love 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 like 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
so since she put that curse on me-
no, there's no curse
its not a curse
forget I said curse
the point is its 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
its 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
and Betsy loves me
I'm a schmuck and betsy loves me
doesn't matter what I do
I know its true
I could never live without her
Betsy loves me
its amazing
Betsy loves me
and tonight I'm gunna 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
I'm a grown-up man at last
I'm the luckiest guy from the Bronx to the islands
so laugh if you wanna
this whole town is gunna see
that I love Betsy
sorry Mama
I love Betsy
and she loves me
