(Sandy Ramos)
Ain't no place to dance in town
Like the view when the sun goes down
All the good looking ladies
Come from miles around to meet
Fred saw Betty Lou Baker
For the fourteenth time
He said "I'm gonna tell her
How I feel tonight"
But he didn't know what hit him
When he couldn't even move or speak
Well it starts with "L"
And it ends with "E"
There's a couple short letters
Stuck in between
And it ain't too long but it always seems
To get him all choked up
Yeah it starts with "L"
And it ends with "E"
One tough syllable and he's home free
It's only four letters, go get her
Ain't nothin' better than love
Betty Lou's that girl
With the long blonde hair
Sittin' by herself in the cane back chair
Anybody lookin' would think
Nobody cared but then
Fred is frettin' over yonder
Sittin' in the corner if he's ever gonna
Get the nerve to use that word again
Well it starts with "L"
And it ends with "E"
There's a couple short letters
Stuck in between
And it ain't too long but it always seems
To get him all choked up
Yeah it starts with "L"
And it ends with "E"
One tough syllable and he's home free
It's only four letters, go get her
Ain't nothin' better than love
Fred finally got around
And found Betty Lou
Said "Would ya wanna take
A chance on a dance or two"
He didn't have a clue
What Betty Lou would do in his mind
And then Betty Lou stood up
And shook her head
For the longest moment
That room went dead
Until she said
"Fred honey it's about time"
Well it starts with "L"
And it ends with "E"
There's a couple short letters
Stuck in between
And it ain't too long but it always seems
To get him all choked up
Yeah it starts with "L"
And it ends with "E"
One tough syllable and he's home free
It's only four letters, go get her
Ain't nothin' better than love
It's only four letters, go get her
Ain't nothing better than love
