He'll never know why he let Betty go
  through the tears, he threw the years away, oh
  So long ago and he still needs her so
  Alec's back oh, but Betty's gone
    And I'm so blue, and I can't see
  What I can do, Betty.
    Dark and its cold with no Betty to hold
  In the Rovers, its all over now, oh
  Too late to know, if she still needs him so
  Alec's back oh, but Betty's gone
    And I'm so blue
  and I can't see
  what I can do Betty
    [Guitar Bit]
  and I'm so blue...
    Alec's come home but Alec's still alone
  No pretending it's the ending now, oh
  We'll never know more of this tale of woe
  coz Alec's back oh, but Betty's gone
    Betty's gone...
