If I remember right her name was Betty

We were gradutatin' seniors, goin' steady

I was hesitant to wed, but she was ready

For holy matrimony 'til one night walkin' home

She stopped off at the Strike And Spare Diner

And lost her heart to a transfer-truck driver

They had a rollin' honeymoon to Carolina

I spent the whole summer cussin' them

But lookin' back it must've been

Divine intervention that got her attention

It wasn't superstition or woman's intuition

I've ruled out random chance

Destiny or circumstance

Biology, astrology, it wasn't numerology

Karma, Zeus or Zen blowin' in the wind

The only ying-yang, galdang thing it coulda been

Was divine intervention, divine intervention

After six or seven years of near misses

Empty promises and half-hearted kisses

I met up lip to lip with my misses

She was walkin' through the park

I said, "Lord, there goes my heart"

Divine intervention that got her attention

It wasn't superstition or woman's intuition

I've ruled out random chance

Destiny or circumstance

Biology, astrology, it wasn't numerology

Karma, Zeus or Zen blowin' in the wind

The only ying-yang, galdang thing it coulda been

Was divine intervention, divine intervention

Divine intervention that got her attention

It wasn't superstition or woman's intuition

I've ruled out random chance

Destiny or circumstance

Biology, astrology, it wasn't numerology

Karma, Zeus or zen blowin' in the wind

The only ying-yang, galdang thing it coulda been

Was divine intervention, divine intervention
