It Start With 'L'

Ain't no place to dance in town
Like the view when the sun goes down
All the good looking ladies
Come from miles around to meet

Fred saw Betty Lou Baker for the fourteenth time
He said, "I'm gonna tell her how I feel tonight"
But he didn't know what hit him
When he couldn't even move or speak

Well, it starts with 'L' and it ends with 'E'
There's a couple short letters stuck in between
And it ain't too long but it always seems
To get him all choked up

Yeah, it starts with 'L' and it ends with 'E'
One tough syllable and he's home free
It's only four letters, go get her
Ain't nothin' better than love

Betty Lou's that girl with the long blonde hair
Sittin' by herself in the cane back chair
Anybody lookin' would think
Nobody cared but then

Fred is frettin' over yonder
Sittin' in the corner
If he's ever gonna get the nerve
To use that word again

Well, it starts with 'L' and it ends with 'E'
There's a couple short letters stuck in between
And it ain't too long but it always seems
To get him all choked up

Yeah, it starts with 'L' and it ends with 'E'
One tough syllable and he's home free
It's only four letters, go get her
Ain't nothin' better than love

Fred finally got around and found Betty Lou
Said, "Would ya wanna take a chance on a dance or two?"
He didn't have a clue
What Betty Lou would do in his mind

And then Betty Lou stood up and shook her head
For the longest moment that room went dead
Until she said
"Fred, honey, it's about time"

Well, it starts with 'L' and it ends with 'E'
There's a couple short letters stuck in between
And it ain't too long but it always seems
To get him all choked up

Yeah, it starts with 'L' and it ends with 'E'
One tough syllable and he's home free
It's only four letters, go get her
Ain't nothin' better than love

It's only four letters, go get her
Ain't nothing better than love
