[Intro]
Alexander, city born
Same old clothes he's always worn
At his window every night staring off into the sky
Oh my, what makes him tick
How interesting
Is he sick?
Is he weak in the knees?
Can he move, yeah, can he speak?

[Verse 1]
Ooh all I really gotta do
Is lock her up in my life
Lock her up in my life
He thinks
Ooh all I really gotta do
Is just lock her up in my life
Lock her up in my life

[Chorus]
But she's got a Betty of her own
No use for him
Yeah, she's got a Betty of her own
No use for him

[Verse 2]
Standard good as gold
Does exactly as he's told
Pull his strings and watch him dance
Make him think he has a chance
[Bridge]
How interesting
Is he sick?
Is he weak in the knees?
Can he move, yeah, can he speak?

[Verse 3]
Yeah he thinks ooh all I really wanna do
Is just lock her up in my life
Lock her up in my life
He thinks
Ooh all I really gotta do
Is just lock her up in my life
Lock her up in my life

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Always at the foot of her bed
Where he vacations from time to time
And lives from year to year
