Doin' The Do
Betty Boo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause last time you were really impressed
And I'm bolder c-c-cold, getting colder
And at the very same time I heat up at a party
And sold her but not with solar power
For far too long made mistakes and allowed
A fat and ugly thing get in my way
Now I'm suitable and I'm say
Like Pearl and Dean and if you can't take the heat
Get out of the kitchen
Ain't got no time for your boo boo Betty
Betty Boo
Betty Boo just doin' the do
And you are through
And there's nothing you can do
Betty Boo
Betty Boo just doin' the do
And you are through
And there's nothing you can do
Hoodlum
That what you you called me rebellious
You can't ignore me but nevermind 'cause I know that I'm sweeter
Your time is up so put more money in your meter
You say I bully though I know I'm no goody goody
But what I do know is that I'm fully in control
You're on a roll fat as a roly poly
And on the whole you think that I'm a threat
'Cause I'm the best that you could ever get
I never made the teacher's pet and ease yourself
I know you despise me you criticize
And override me but I'm better and a whole lot cleverer
A go getter, you know a trend setter
I'm all the rage and all the craze
Come on, change the record gotta turn the page
Betty Boo
Betty Boo just doin' the do
And you are through
And there's nothing you can do
Betty Boo
Betty Boo just doin' the do
And you are through
And there's nothing you can do
I'm sorry if I upset ya to get the better of me
I wouldn't let ya any time of the day
I could get ya you come running to me
Yes, I bet ya ain't going out like a sucka
There's no need to huff and puffa
'Cause, baby, I am tougher
Than you think so you just gotta suffer
Betty Boo
Betty Boo just doin' the do
And you are through
And there's nothing you can do
Betty Boo
Betty Boo just doin' the do
And you are through
And there's nothing you can do
You might play bold but Betty Boo is bolder
Cold getting dumb cold getting colder
Spend half the time looking over your shoulder
There ain't another MC who could be the queen
You have never been considered as anyone hype
So tonight I'm gonna take time out
To wipe that smile off your face you're a side effect
Like an aftertaste so, face the facts I do the job well
And, hell, why not I got a lot, so tell me
What you're saying I'm not playing
Somebody's gotta go and I'm staying
Jack, get back, exact you got me right
Get up, get with it or get out of my sight
Because I'm hot and sizzly put you in the mood
Someone like you puts me off my food
Betty Boo
Betty Boo just doin' the do
And you are through
And there's nothing you can do
Betty Boo
Betty Boo just doin' the do
And you are through
And there's nothing you can do
Betty Boo
Betty Boo just doin' the do
And you are through
And there's nothing you can do
