Lyrics:
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Black Betty had a child (Bam-ba-Lam)
The damn thing gone wild (Bam-ba-Lam)
She said, «Im worryin outta mind» (Bam-ba-Lam)
The damn thing gone blind (Bam-ba-Lam)
I said «Oh, Black Betty» (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Oh, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
She really gets me high (Bam-ba-Lam)
You know thats no lie (Bam-ba-Lam)
Shes so rock steady (Bam-ba-Lam)
And shes always ready (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Shes from Birmingham (Bam-ba-Lam)
Way down in Alabam (Bam-ba-Lam)
Well, shes shakin that thing (Bam-ba-Lam)
Boy, she makes me sing (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty
Bam-ba-lam

I wonder
if I’m being real do I speak my truth or do I filter to how I feel
I wonder
Wouldn’t it be nice to live inside a world that isn’t black and white
I wonder
What it’s like to be my friends
Hope that they don’t think I forget about them
I wonder
I wonder
Right before I close my eyes
The only thing that’s on my mind
Been dreaming that you feel it too
I wonder what it’s like to be loved by you
Yeahhhh
I wonder what it’s like
I wonder what it’s like to be loved
I wonder
Why I’m so afraid of saying something wrong and never said I was a saint
I wonder when I cry into my hands I’m conditioned to feel like it makes me less of a man
And I wonder if some day you’ll be by my side and tell me that the world will end up alright
I wonder
I wonder
Right before I close my eyes
The only thing that’s on my mind
Been dreaming that you feel it too
I wonder what it’s like to be loved by you
Yeahhhh
I wonder what it’s like
I wonder what it’s like to be loved by you
I wonder what it’s like to be loved by you
Yeahhhh
I wonder what it’s like to be loved by you
I wonder what it’s like to be loved
Right before I close my eyes
The only thing that’s on my mind
Been dreaming that you feel it too
I wonder what it’s like to be loved by you
