Everclear - Babytalk lyrics

This is a song about Spike
He is badass 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's got a lot of tattoos

He always talks crazy
Whenever she calls
He always talks like a baby
It's obvious she has got him by the balls
She's got him by the balls
Yeah 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 hangin' out, gettin' 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's obvious, they've got him by the balls

I hate you when you when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a grown man
(They've got him by the balls)
I hate you when you when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a grown man
(They've got him by the balls)
I hate you when you when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a grown man
(They've got him by the balls)
You'll never see me
Walkin' that walk
You'll never catch me
Talkin' that babytalk
(You know it's true they've got you by the balls)

Which brings us back to Spike
A good guy to have in a fight
Unless he was 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 'cause he has no shame

He looks so happy
Just like everything is fine
He seems oblivious to the fact
That he has no spine
'Cause he always talks crazy
(You have no shame)
Whenever she calls
(You have no shame)
He always talks like a baby
(You have no shame)
It's obvious, they've got him by the balls

I hate you when you when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a grown man
(They've got him by the balls)
I hate you when you when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a grown man
(They've got him by the balls)
I hate you when you when you talk like that
I wish you could act like a grown man
(They've got him by the balls)
You'll never see me
Walkin' that walk
You'll never catch me
Talkin' that babytalk
(You know it's true they've got you by the balls)

I am not gonna let them get to me
I am not gonna let them get to me
I am not gonna let them get to me
I am not gonna let them... whoa!

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