[Intro]
(Unclear voices from a TV)

[Verse 1]
She barely made it to her sophomore year in college
A lot of times it's very hard soaking up knowledge
When you got a lot of nonsense on your mind
On top of that she was forced to stay on the grind
Working in the school kitchen just to pay tuition
Ask momma to lend a hand, but she never listen
She denounced her as a child, when she almost had a child
Ever since that little trial
She was forced to hold it down for herself
She had dreams of the nice cars and the wealth
A nice house with a swimming pool, Michael Phelps
But the last time she had time to buy for herself
Was the last time she lacked time to drive for herself

[Pre-Chorus 1]
She was a 9 in the face (Wow), 5 in the body (Wow)
Thin in the waist (Wow), thinner in the booty (Wow)
Intrigued by the big screen, videos and movies
She hoped to be a star but instead became a groupie

[Chorus]
Love don't, love don't, love don't, love don't
Lust don't live long and love don't die
Lust don't live long and love don't die
Lust don't live long and love don't die
Lust don't live long and love don't die
You got to run away, for the lust
You try to find your way, for the love
Got to run away, for the lust
You try to find your way, for the love
[Verse 2]
She powered the TV turn the volume up
On the news was a way to get a bigger butt
To her surprise man it really ain’t cost much
She was dazed and amazed sort of star struck
Her next job was to work a little overtime
And over time she would shine like a roll of dimes
Next thing you know Betty’s got a butt
Followed by the butt, n***as tryna fuck
She let one hit, now Betty’s a slut
The things a guy would say 'fore you gave in to lust
And that don’t change the fact that she’s tryna make it
But now her morals done change, brains overrated
So she turns her B-Stings into DD’s
Now she on TV in the G-string
Now she shining like a new diamond ring
From the fifty cent dispenser machine

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And all the ballers buying her expensive things
But they don’t love her they just tryna put her on the team
Like I said, intrigued by the big screen, videos and movies
She hoped to be a star but instead became a groupie

[Chorus]
Love don't, love don't, love don't, love don't
Lust don't live long and love don't die
Lust don't live long and love don't die
Lust don't live long and love don't die
Lust don't live long and love don't die
You got to run away, for the lust
You try to find your way, for the love
Got to run away, for the lust
You try to find your way, for the love
[Verse 3]
Fast forward, a couple years later
When Betty’s ass turned from apple to a damn potato
And the make-up, she made up, to make her face up
Couldn’t cover the silicone sitting from the waist up
It was the waste of, money cause at the end
She couldn’t pretend, to be something that him
Would want, outside a friend
So nevertheless the stress was in her future
It's hard to find a guy that look past the Kama Sutra
Suit up, and your baby suit was all that baby knew
And when it came to TV she was lucky to be in a bathing suit
How the hell can you be a mother to your kids
When they turn to channel six and see your fucking tits

(Muffled crying)

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Tears come from the eyes when she cries before she realizes
She was day dreaming
And that consisted of the dreams of the big screens, videos and movies
She looked up to the stars and says she’ll never be a groupie

[Outro]
Lust don’t live long and love don’t die
Lust don’t live long and love don’t die
Lust don’t live long and love don’t die
Lust don’t live long and love don’t die
Lust don’t live long and love don’t die
Lust don’t live long and love don’t die
Lust don’t live long and love don’t die
Lust don’t live long and love don’t die
