I've been running I've been running on empty All my jogging turned into a sprint I've been preaching I've been preaching to everybody "I know you're ready for it" "I know you're ready for it" But I'm not ready yet I play the part Meanwhile, I'm always crying in the backseat, Betty I'm always crying in the backseat Even though they all sing along I'm always crying in the backseat, Betty I'm always crying in the backseat, Betty Oh, am I really running Or am I just complaining? Thought I was flying, but I guess I'm hydroplaning One sip and then I slip into nothing Into a discord or a discussion This shameful secret "something" Is the depth of this dysfunction 'Cause I'm a drag I'm not the fun One set a night is the exception I'm too much I'm too heavy for anyone that's met me I've got to be the mom at the fire A preacher longing to join the choir Your favorite angel on high is a liar I'm a liar I play the part Meanwhile, I'm always crying in the backseat, Betty I'm always crying in the backseat Even though they all sing along I'm always crying in the backseat, Betty I'm always crying in the backseat, Betty I'm always crying Always crying
