BETH
(P. Criss, S. Pendridge, B. Ezrin)
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2a]
Beth, I hear you callin', but I can't come home right now.
[Rhy. Fig 3a]
Me and the boys are playin', and we just can't find the sound.
[Rhy. Fig 4a]
Just a few more hours, and I'll be right home to you.
I think I hear them callin'.
oh Beth, what can I do?
Beth, what can I do?
[Rhy. Fig 2a]
You say you feel so empty, that our house just ain't a home.
[Rhy. Fig 3b]
I'm always somewhere else, and you're always there alone.
[Rhy. Fig 4b]
Just a few more hours, and I'll be right home to you.
I think I hear them callin'.
Oh Beth, what can I do?
[rhy. Fig 5]
[Rhy. Fig 2b]
Beth, I know you're lonely,
and I hope you'll be all right.
Cause me and the boys will be playin' all nite
[Rhy. Fig 6]
