Words and music by Richie Reinholdt.
lyrics
Hey now Betty Lou what’s come over you
You don’t act the way you used to
Come on Betty Lou what’s wrong with you
You don’t love me like you’re ‘sposed to

Quarter-back and the prom queen
You were the cheerleader of my passion dreams
But a careless night without a glove
Led me down the aisle pledging eternal love

Come on Betty Lou what’s come over you
You don’t act the way that you used to
Ahh Betty Lou what’s wrong with you
You don’t love me like you’re ‘sposed to

Mortgaged life in a single-wide
Busted cars parked outside
But when the local called a strike I saw them picket lines
All around the life I thought was mine

Come on Betty Lou what’s come over you
You don’t act the way that you used to
Come on Betty Lou what’s wrong with you
You don’t love me like you’re ‘sposed to

With your diaper breath and bloodshot eyes
You wonder why I stay out all night
But when the baby cries with hunger pangs
I gotta get out here before I go insane

Ahh Betty Lou what’s come over you
You don’t act the way that you used to
Come on Betty Lou what’s wrong with you
You don’t love me like you’re ‘sposed to
