Baby Talk
Neon Fruit Supermarket Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One day she's fine
The other nein
It takes time
She keeps telling me
Mary says life is pain
I'll disappoint you
What's the point?
She keeps telling me
Baby don't you talk that way
Baby don't you talk that way
Baby don't you talk that way
Baby don't you talk that way
Baby can't you see?
You're pretty much the whole wide world to me
Mary let's get some help
I'm here for you
But have no clue
I'm blue too
What we're gonna do?
Mary let's steal some books
I heard Marcus Aurelius it's not so tedious
Let's get disobedient
Swim to Walden Pond
Baby don't you talk that way
Baby don't you talk that way
Baby don't you talk that way
Baby don't you talk that way
Baby can't you see?
You're pretty much the whole wide world to me
You're the world to me
Oh
Baby don't you talk that way

It suggests that the singer recognizes the struggles Mary is facing and offers a reassuring presence.
