Bowling for Soup
The Bitch Song (Live 2013)
[Spoken: Jaret Reddick and Erik Chandler]
What?
We have to take these breaks cause doing shows like this really, really, really cuts into our drinking time, people
[Verse 1]
Is it okay if I speak to you today?
You've been pissed off for a week now
But nothing I can say could make you look up
Or crack up
Is there anything that I can't do
Anything to show you
[Chorus]
You're a bitch
But I love you anyway
Oh, you can't sing
But you still put me to sleep
Baby, you're a bitch
Hey hey, hey hey
You make me sick
But don't ever go away
[Verse 2]
So you tell me that there's nothing left to say
I drive you face the window
Then you're in my face, telling me to grow up
I wish you'd grow up
I can't wait until you fall asleep, I wonder if you know that
[Chorus: Jaret Reddick, Concert Crowd]
You're a bitch
But I love you anyway
Oh, you can't sing
But you still put me to sleep
Baby, you're a bitch
Hey hey, hey hey
You make me sick
But don't ever go away
[Spoken: Jaret Reddick]
A lot of times, people come up to me and say
"Hey Jaret Reddick, what makes you such a songwriting genius?"
And I always follow up with
"I like to build beverage breaks into each and every song", ladies and gentlemen
That's right, but that's not selfish, it's not a selfish thing, it's for the good of my band
They take care of me each and every day, as I do them
Can you guys do the la-la part? Cause Erik sucks at it
[Bridge: Concert Crowd, Jaret Reddick and Erik Chandler]
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
No-no, wait! You started it too early! Hold on
You don't just get to start parts willy nilly in songs, there's structure
Here, ready? I'll queue you, here it comes
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la-la
[Chorus]
You're a bitch
But I love you anyway
Oh, you can't sing
But you still put me to sleep
Baby, you're a bitch
Hey hey, hey hey
You make me sick
But don't ever go away
[Outro]
You're a bitch, but I love you anyway
So why don't ya stay?
