Belinda - Bobbie Gentry[00:00:00]

When I first met Belinda[00:00:05]

It was down in Corpus Christi[00:00:08]

Back in August I believe in '53[00:00:10]

She was workin' as a dancer[00:00:16]

And her life-size tinted photo[00:00:18]

Beckoned tantalizingly from the marquee[00:00:22]

The red neon was flashing[00:00:31]

Music poured out on the street[00:00:33]

And the club I'm sure [00:00:36]

Had seen it's better days[00:00:38]

And a sea of blurry eyes[00:00:41]

And upturned faces watched Belinda[00:00:43]

As she danced within the noisy [00:00:48]

Smoky haze[00:00:50]

You may know my body[00:00:54]

But you cannot know my mind[00:00:56]

She moved her lips[00:01:00]

But didn't make a sound[00:01:01]

You may know my body[00:01:06]

But you cannot know my mind[00:01:08]

Then she'd dip and twirl[00:01:12]

And smile and dance around[00:01:13]

Belinda was a beauty[00:01:20]

She revealed her body slowly[00:01:22]

So that all the cowboys strained[00:01:25]

And craned to see[00:01:27]

Her sequined skirts would swirl and twirl[00:01:31]

And catch the light and sparkle[00:01:33]

And Belinda's eyes would wander restlessly[00:01:37]

Now I did not know Belinda[00:01:45]

When she was a little girl[00:01:48]

But as a child [00:01:51]

I'm sure she often dreamed[00:01:52]

And I used to wonder used to ponder[00:01:56]

Just what did go wrong[00:01:59]

But then Belinda was[00:02:02]

Not always what she seemed[00:02:03]

You may know my body[00:02:08]

But you cannot know my mind[00:02:10]

She moved her lips[00:02:14]

But didn't make a sound[00:02:15]

You may know my body[00:02:20]

But you cannot know my mind[00:02:22]

Then she'd dip and twirl[00:02:26]

And smile and dance around[00:02:27]

Then one night I wrote a hasty note[00:02:34]

And threw it on the stage[00:02:37]

Askin' her if she would[00:02:39]

Have a drink with me[00:02:41]

And we talked of many things[00:02:44]

About the sunshine and the country[00:02:47]

And a tear came[00:02:51]

To her eye quite suddenly[00:02:52]

And I listened to her [00:02:59]

Thought about her[00:03:01]

Finally I asked her[00:03:02]

"Tell me Belinda [00:03:05]

What does your life mean "[00:03:06]

She looked me in the eye[00:03:10]

And told me "Forty bucks a week"[00:03:12]

And to be a damn good[00:03:16]

Dancing Burlesque queen[00:03:18]

Ah you may know my body[00:03:21]

But you cannot know my mind[00:03:24]

She said to me as she prepared to go[00:03:28]

You may know my body[00:03:34]

But you cannot know my mind[00:03:36]

Then she laughed[00:03:40]

And left to do her second show[00:03:41]
