  • It's me again yes, how did you guess
    '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
    I'm no in-between top of the rank
    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 Writer/s: ALISON CLARKSON, BEN YARDLEY, KENNY YOUNG
