1) Mixing four-chord Ramones-inspired rock anthems with an unadulterated pornography fixation, the Nobodys have sprung forth from the fertile grounds of Colorado Springs to become the reigning Ron Jeremys of the punk rock world!
It all began with their 1996 debut album on Hopeless, "Short Songs for Short Attention Spans." Produced by Joe Queer of The Queers, the record, full of two- minute gems, had fans getting it up from coast to coast as the band brought their live show across the country and around the world, touring the US, Europe and Canada several times over. Of course, this only made fans wet for more, so the Nobodys came again with their 1997 tour de force, "Smell of Victory" (produced by Warren Fitzgerald of The Vandals).
Tours with The Queers, Chixdiggit and Guttermouth won over even more converts. By now, collectors were going crazy trying to snatch up all the Nobodys material they could, so the band made it easy by compiling their numerous 7", compilation and demo songs onto one CD, appropriately titled "Greatasstits." (The cover, a close up on the enormous chest of renowned porn star Taylor Wayne, is as unforgettable as the music.) Soon to follow was the inevitable Generation XXX, produced by Donnell Cameron (Bad Religion, Rocket from the Crypt, NOFX) with twenty-five tracks of, what some would call ...sloppy, loud, perverted, snotty, annoying and not to mention overbearing punk rock from Colorado springs... Yeah, that's about right.
2) The Nobodys are a band that had their single "No Guarantees" appear on the TV series Miami Vice.
3) Nobody was a garage rock band from Seattle, WA during the 90's and featured pro skateboarder Scott Smiley on drums.
You Make Me Wanna Drink
Nobodys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything you say I do and think.
I'm losing my mind. What's wrong with me?
Why don't you go away and let me be.
You're such a waste of time and I can see that you lie to me and stab me in the back.
That's why I downed a 6-pack.
I wanna drink.
My nerves are a wreck. What's wrong with me?
Why don't you go away and let me be.
Cause when you come around I can see that you lie to me and stab me in the back.
That's why I downed a 12-pack.
I wanna drink. (5x)

I wanna know what's on your mind
Baby can you tell me?
We are such a mystery, yeah
I see you liking all those pics
Flirtin' with that other chick, baby
And I can't take this no more
Baby can you tell me how you feelin'?
I ain't feelin' the way I'm feelin' about you right now
Baby what you see is what you get
Talk to me, say what it is
Nobody's better by your side, baby
Baby what you see is what you get
Talk to me, say what it is
Nobody's better by your side, baby
Please don't take this lightly
I like you and you like me
Just don't believe the hype, baby
I got you and you got me
Please don't take this lightly
I like you and you like me
Just don't believe the hype, baby
I got you and you got me
Do you really wanna put it that way?
Is that all you have to say?
I gave all my love to you
And you're throwin' it all away
It was not too long ago, you were sayin'
"Baby won't you come my way?
Cannot, cannot keep you out my brain"
So I gotta know
Baby can you tell me how you feelin'?
I ain't feelin' the way I'm feelin' about you right now
Baby what you see is what you get
Talk to me, say what it is
Nobody's better by your side, baby

Talk to me, say what it is
Nobody's better by your side, baby
Please don't take this lightly

Please don't take this lightly
I like you and you like me
Just don't believe the hype, baby
I got you and you got me
See I really wish that I could believe
The words that you are sayin' to me, baby
I need a little bit more from you than that
I need a little bit of honesty
Let me know when you're ready to love me
Baby let me know when you're ready to love me
And only me, yeah
Baby what you give is what you get
Talk to me, forget the rest
Nobody's better by your side than me
Baby what you give is what you get
Talk to me, forget the rest
Nobody's better by your side than me
Please don't take me lightly
I like you and you like me
I won't believe the hype, baby
If you treat me right
Please don't take me lightly

I won't believe the hype, baby
If you treat me right
