Dedicated To The Press - Betty Davis

Hey now extra extra have you read about me

They say I’m vulgar

And some people can do without me

Well all I can say is it’s such a shame

Why do they blame me for what I am?

Hey now

Extra extra do you understand me

Well if you don’t don’t reprimand me

Well I wish I could tell it to you another way

But I’m telling you the only way that I know how

Do you dig it

Extra extra have you read about me

Well they I stick out my tongue

quite lecherously

Well I really don’t know what they’re talkin about

I just can’t seem to keep my tongue in my mouth

That’s all folk

Extra extra do you understand me

Well if you don’t how can you like me

Well all I can say is it’s such a shame

It really is a pity that you can’t get into me

I don’t care

Hey now

Do you know where I’m going to?

Hey now

Well you’re hipper than me if you say that you do

It ain’t nothin but some music

It ain’t nothin but some fun

And if I make you up tight

That’s cause you don’t know where I’m coming from

And ain’t nothin that heavy

Oh such a shame

Ooh that sleazy fame

Oh isn’t she a shame

Maybe her mother her mother is to blame

Dear mother

Oh ah mmm what a trashy dame

Oh life is such a shame

You swing high

You swing low here I go again.
