Jamie Found Out recently finished a successful tour of Danbury, Connecticut (opening for The Smooth Hands) and is often featured on Danbury's own WXCI Modern Rock radio station.
The group would like to be remembered as a caring bunch who were able to make even the Sourest Suzie get up and rock down the house--but always in a delicate, tender, appreciative fashion so as not to get too rowdy.
The group's favorite things are friendship, daydreaming, and happiness.
Their worst fears include missing out on all the excitement and death.
They thank everyone for listening and being good-spirited.
Pretty Baby
Jamie Found Out Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I'm awful and the mood is right
You'll come and go but I'm a permanent sight
Pretty Baby, don't you start a fight
Drunk again and all the lights are down
I'm feelin' Pretty Baby, don't you shout
That's right woman, let your guard down
Go ahead! Walk away
Just watch out what you say
Cuz I don't need new problems today
And I got a habit of gettin' my way
Take your time coming back
If you should leave, well that's a drag
Cuz I'm in no mood to hold back
I'll be here, you'll be exactly the same
You know I'm sorry darlin' don't you cry
But morning's coming and my sleight is dry
Believe me Pretty Baby, I don't lie
I'll take it easier next time
Life's not easy being dealt this hand
I don't complain and I don't take a stand
But you, you're nothing, you just need a dad
I just want a Pretty Baby to be her man
Go ahead! Walk away
Just watch out what you say
Cuz I don't need new problems today
And I got a habit of gettin' my way
Take your time coming back
If you should leave, well that's a drag
Cuz I'm in no mood to hold back
I'll be here, you'll be exactly the same
And she's shakin', breathless, holds her tongue
But I'll be right before I'm done!
Go ahead! Walk away
Just watch out what you say
Cuz I don't need new problems today
And I got a habit of gettin' away
Take your time coming back
If you should leave, well that's a drag
Cuz I'm in no mood to hold back
You'll be here, I'll be exactly the same
Too much complainin' gotta fix my head
My temper's burnin' and my face is red
My hands look Pretty Baby 'round your neck
But you'd look even better in my bed
My heart is empty and my head is wild
I'm spinnin', fixin' for a real rough time
She says, "Now wait a minute, I'm with child!"
Well it's a Pretty Baby, I don't really mind
Go ahead! Say your peace
Just make sure before you leave
That there ain't no more breath in me
If I ain't dead, well then you're soon to be
And Take your time, before you judge
Cuz she came back. She claimed love
I never asked her not to run
And I never bought all that shit on love anyway

You see me drinkin' there every night
I spend my nights drinking at the bar
Because I'm awful and the mood is right
I'm miserable and drinking makes me feel better
You'll come and go but I'm a permanent sight
People come and go from the bar, but I'm always there
Pretty Baby, don't you start a fight
I don't want any trouble from you
I get home and it's the same old sound
My home life is boring and repetitive
Drunk again and all the lights are down
I come home drunk and turn off the lights
I'm feelin' Pretty Baby, don't you shout
I'm feeling good, so don't ruin it with your yelling
That's right woman, let your guard down
I want you to relax and let your guard down around me
Go ahead! Walk away
You can leave if you want to
Just watch out what you say
Be careful what you say to me
Cuz I don't need new problems today
I don't want any more issues to deal with
And I got a habit of gettin' my way
I'm used to getting what I want
Take your time coming back
You can take as long as you want to come back
If you should leave, well that's a drag
If you leave, it's going to be disappointing
Cuz I'm in no mood to hold back
I'm not in the mood to control myself
I'll be here, you'll be exactly the same
I'll still be here and you'll still be the same when you come back
You know I'm sorry darlin' don't you cry
I'm sorry, please don't cry
But morning's coming and my sleight is dry
I'm sobering up and feeling remorseful
Believe me Pretty Baby, I don't lie
Trust me, I'm not lying
I'll take it easier next time
I'll be more gentle in the future
Life's not easy being dealt this hand
Life is hard and I've had a tough time
I don't complain and I don't take a stand
I don't express my feelings or stand up for myself
But you, you're nothing, you just need a dad
You're insecure and looking for someone to take care of you
I just want a Pretty Baby to be her man
I want a woman to take care of and be with
And she's shakin', breathless, holds her tongue
She's scared and doesn't want to say anything
But I'll be right before I'm done!
I'll get what I want in the end
And Take your time, before you judge
Don't judge me too quickly
Cuz she came back. She claimed love
She came back to me and said she loved me
I never asked her not to run
I never told her not to leave me
And I never bought all that shit on love anyway
I don't believe in love or romance
