Betrayed Lyrics by Lou Reed

Betrayed Lyrics

    Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
    By the one who says she needs you
    Above all other men
    Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
    Her father did his duty
    And i lie down betrayed

    Justice taught her confidence
    Her mother was like steel
    Her cousins, they're all convicts
    She alone rose above that wheel
    But a motorcyclist no matter how good
    Is slave to the oncoming truck
    And the poison of her father was
    Her most pitiless luck

    Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
    By the one who says she needs you
    Above all other men
    Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
    Her father did his duty
    And i lie down betrayed

    Three of us lie in this bed
    Night of infamy
    One of us lies on our back
    Her father's in her head
    And quick she turns and slaps my face
    And with her eyes open wide she screams
    I hate you, i hate you, i hate you
    But she's looking right past me

    Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
    By the one who says that she needs you
    Above all other men
    Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
    Her father did his duty
    And i lie down betrayed

    And i lie down betrayed
    I lie down betrayed
