Betrayed
Lou Reed
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 betrayedamerican tracks
