Everclear › Lyrics › Babytalk

This is a song about Spike, he is a bad ass guy
Who just happens to be a really good friend of mine
Everyone I know, yeah, who knows Spike too
Would agree when I say the words that Spike is cool

The problem with my friend Spike, he has fallen into
A true love with a nice girl who has gotta lot of tattoos
He always talks crazy whenever she calls
He always talks like a baby, yeah, it's obvious

She has got him by the balls
She has got him by the balls
Yes she has got him by the balls

My weird little brother James and his ex-girlfriend
They would talk in those ridiculous voices
We would all be hanging out getting drunk in the neighborhood
And they both would make those ridiculous noises

He would always talk crazy whenever she calls
He always talks like a baby, it is obvious

They have got him by the balls
(I hate you when you talk like that)
(I wish you would act like a grown man)
They have got him by the balls
(I hate you when you talk like that)
(I wish you would act like a grown man)
They have got him by the balls
(I hate you when you talk like that)
(I wish you would act like a grown man)
They have got him by the balls
(You will never see me walking that walk)
(You will never catch me talking that babytalk)

Which brings us back to Spike, a good guy to have in a fight
Unless he with his girlfriend, obnoxious on a Saturday night
You know he couldn't care less what anyone thinks
He does not give a damn, no, because he has no shame

He always looks so happy just like everything is fine
He is oblivious to the fact that he has no spine
'Coz he always talks crazy whenever she calls
(You have no shame)
(You have no shame)
He talks like a baby, it is obvious
(You have no shame)

They have got him by the balls
(I hate you when you talk like that)
(I wish you would act like a grown man)
They have got him by the balls
(I hate you when you talk like that)
(I wish you would act like a grown man)
They have got him by the balls
(I hate you when you talk like that)
(I wish you would act like a grown man)
They have got him by the balls
(You will never see me walking that walk)
(You will never catch me talking that babytalk)

I am not going to let them get to me
I am not going to let them get to me
I am not going to let them get to me
I am not going to let them

They've got you by the balls
Yeah, they've got you by the balls
Yeah, they've got you by the balls
