Roches - Blabbermouth lyrics

rate me

Here comes the blabbermouth<br />

Everybody hold on to your secrets<br />

You better not let 'em out or the blabbermouth's gonna tell.<br />

Here comes the blabbermouth<br />

Everybody hold on to your secrets<br />

If you let the blabbermouth see it you know she's gonna tell.<br />

<br />

Don't be so judgmental<br />

How would you like to be her?<br />

Everybody calling you yentl<br />

Always creating a stir<br />

Actually I'm speaking about myself<br />

<br />

I'm the person this song is about<br />

And it's the loneliest feeling you ever felt<br />

To have to be the blabbermouth<br />

<br />

It's a crummy gig but someone's gotta do it<br />

A thing goes underground and it festers like a sore<br />

Years go by and no one refers to it<br />

But everyone involved is rotting at the core<br />

From thinking and trying to escape it<br />

And figuring out some way to feel okay<br />

You write a song that just doesn't say and tape it<br />

Dreaming it will be over with someday<br />

<br />

But here comes the blabbermouth to send that thing around<br />

The grapevine<br />

Last I heard it was heading south with a whole new spin and<br />

A different dateline.<br />

<br />

I'm glad I wasn't home to take my angry licks<br />

When you called me on the phone regarding my latest antics<br />

But aren't you a little happy in the back of your mind<br />

That you don't have to worry about a slip<br />

When you're sitting with a friend drinkin' some wine?<br />

Don't you see I did you a favor Button Lip?
