Blabbermouth Lyrics - Singles - The Roches

Here comes the blabbermouth 

everybody hold on to your secrets 

You better not let 'em out or the blabbermouth's gonna tell. 

Here comes the blabbermouth 

everybody hold on to your secrets 

If you let the blabbermouth see it you know she's gonna tell. 

Don't be so judgmental 

How would you like to be her? 

Everybody calling you yentl 

Always creating a stir 

Actually I'm speaking about myself 

I'm the person this song is about 

And it's the loneliest feeling you ever felt 

To have to be the blabbermouth 

It's a crummy gig but someone's gotta do it 

A thing goes underground and it festers like a sore 

Years go by and no one refers to it 

But everyone involved is rotting at the core 

From thinking and trying to escape it 

And figuring out some way to feel okay 

You write a song that just doesn't say and tape it 

dreaming it will be over with someday 

But here comes the blabbermouth to send that thing around 

the grapevine 

Last I heard it was heading south with a whole new spin and 

a different dateline. 

I'm glad I wasn't home to take my angry licks 

When you called me on the phone regarding my latest antics 

But aren't you a little happy in the back of your mind 

that you don't have to worry about a slip 

when you're sitting with a friend drinkin' some wine? 

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