was a personal poem [00:47.54] [00:48.25]This is until the day that my producer [00:50.75]Happened to thumb through the pages of my notebook [00:52.98] [00:53.65]He came across the words and he said [00:55.81]'We got to somethin' with these words [00:57.92]It's happening every day [00:59.62]And people wanna hear about it Betty' [01:01.77] [01:02.42]You see it's the story of a young girl [01:07.10] [01:08.20]Making love for the very first time [01:12.18] [01:14.41]Now when I finally got a melody [01:18.32] [01:19.39]I took it home and I I played it for my mother [01:22.90]

grow up to your mother [01:34.40] [01:35.37]I'll never forget the way she looked at me when I played it for her [01:38.84]She said 'Uh I like the music [01:42.47] [01:43.64]You know baby the melody it's really nice [01:46.87]But I know you're not gonna sing that song' [01:49.00] [01:50.96]But we eased it right on by yes we did [01:53.67] [01:54.28]And it became one of my biggest records too
