Betty Lyrics – AJR | from “What No One’s Thinking”

September 2, 2025

Jump to:

Uncover the raw vulnerability of Betty, a poignant centerpiece from AJR’s EP What No One’s Thinking, launching September 5, 2025. Through a lens of self-doubt and longing, the Met brothers craft a pop ballad with lyrics like “I know your friends say when you know, you know / I just don’t know right now,” capturing the turmoil of indecision in relationships.

Distinct from the loyal tenderness of A Dog Song or the endless flight in The Plane That Never Lands, Betty builds on AJR’s orchestral pop roots from The Maybe Man, delivering a confessional plea wrapped in harmonious layers. This track embodies the EP’s theme of unspoken thoughts, showcasing the band’s knack for turning personal chaos into relatable anthems. Personal take: Betty lingers like an unanswered call—achingly honest and impossible to ignore. Dive into the Betty lyrics below and explore its uncertain narrative. Don’t miss other What No One’s Thinking tracks for more AJR magic.

Lyrics of Betty by AJR

[Intro]
Betty, I Really Hope You’re On My Side
I Really Hope You Get It
Betty, I Really Hope You’re On My Side
I Really Hope You Get It

[Verse 1]
I Tried To Get My Shit Together
Now You Want A Break ’cause I’m Not Ready For Forever
I Wonder If You Hate Me
I Bet I Hate Me More
Oh, Trust Me, I’d Give Anything To Tell You That I’m Sure

[Pre-Corus]
I Don’t Wanna Lose You, I’m Just Thinking Out Loud

[Chorus]
So Could You Call Me Back, Hello, Hello?
I’m Trying To Work This Out
I Know Your Friends Say When You Know, You Know
I Just Don’t Know Right Now
So Could You Call Me Back, Hello, Hello?
I’m Trying To Work This Out
I Know Your Friends Say When You Know, You Know
I Just Don’t Know Right Now

[Post-Chorus]
Betty, I Really Hope You’re On My Side
I Really Hope You Get It

[Verse 2]
Next Time You See Your Folks At Dinner
Just Ask Your Mom To Please Stop Pointin’ At Your Finger
I Know She Calls Me Son Now
Your Dad, He Calls Me Kid
I’m Sorry I’m Not Man Enough To Face Them Both Like This

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t Read My Last Two Messages, I Barely Slept An Hour

[Chorus]
So Could You Call Me Back, Hello, Hello?
I’m Trying To Work This Out
I Know Your Friends Say When You Know, You Know
I Just Don’t Know Right Now
Or Could You Give Me Just A Year Or So?
I’ll Straighten Out My Head
I Know Your Friends Say When You Know, You Know
So Maybe, Maybe I’ll Know Then

[Post-Chorus]
Betty, I Really Hope You’re On My Side
I Really Hope You Get It
Betty, I Really Hope You’re On My Side
I Really Hope You Get It

[Bridge]
I Don’t Know
I Don’t Know
Betty, I Really Hope You’re On My Side
I Really Hope You Get It
Betty, I Really Hope You’re On My Side
I Really Hope You Get It

[Outro]
Betty, I Really Hope You Get It Right
I Just Don’t Know Right Now
Betty, I Really Hope You Get It Right
I Just Don’t Know Right Now
Betty, I Really Hope You Get It Right
