Bebe Buell
Oh no, I never been to L.A.
I never hung around with so many nuts
And ‘ye said that there’d be drunk and hot girls
But I’m not tryin to mess with no sluts
Cuz I just need a girl like you
Who doesn’t wanna shop at Dior
So come inside and lock that hotel door
I wanna learn a little more
Oh (oh) this ain’t groupie love
Cuz you mean so much to me
You’re my Bebe Buell
You’re my Puerto Rican Pamela Lee
And I’m here and I’m now
And I’m chasing the charts
I’m tryin to buy myself a house in the hills
I’m in town
And you’re down
So let’s go
Now you know that I been locked up in school
And I been foamin at the mouth for awhile
And you might be everything that I need
But maybe I just need to get wild
Cuz all these females, lookin sexy
Start to make me think like a perv
And I been waiting so long that it hurts
I only want what I deserve
[Chorus]
This is my dream
All I wanted was to be seen
La la la la - woah oh oh
La la la la - oh oh
Feelings are strong
Let’s cut our losses, move it along
La la la la - woah oh oh
La la la la - oh oh

Seriously? How dense of a pre-teen do you have to be to look past the fact that being the narrator of the song’s “Bebe Buell” is clearly not a good thing. God, I bet you guys get your music suggestions from that HUNKY DORK on The O.C., too. What, being pretentious because because you listen to t0tez DIY bandddz like Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie? Or do you guys just scream at the top of your lungs at Fall Out Boy and All Time Low shows and then try to disdainfully add that yeahhh you’re really just into some indie stuff right now, you know. I don’t mean to sound like a bitch, but I’m doing an article on the death of indie rock right now, and it seesm that I’ve stumbled upon it right in the lyrics section of this website. At least Annie had enough of a caliber of functioning thought in her brain to capitalize her own name and incorporate the magic that is an apostrophe, albeit she did seem to have two periods curiously leading to an overhappy smiley face, thus making it look like a leaking penis. jenny, (I wonder if your parents wrote your name in all lowercase letters on your birth certificate. If so, how does it feel to have parents that are siblings?) was it really necessary to have all those ‘g’s added to song? Did you really think they wouldn’t have believed that you loved the song if you had spelt it correctly? Also, the second part of your comment makes literally no sense. Ill be youre bebe buell? Oh, so you’re saying “Sick be you are Bebe Buell?” I understand now. I like Chester French a lot, in fact, I’m pretty sure if I had to listen to their LP on a deserted island and not have any other music ever, I’d be just fine. It’s you guys that really make the deal a bitter one. Therefore, please adhere to the rules of indie music society and just butt out if you’re going to make an ass out of yourself, because really, that’s all you’re (Look, jenny! It’s ‘you’re’ used properly!!!!) doing and no one will ever think your (Bad, jenny, bad. Do NOT put an ‘e’ at the end of this word!) opinion is worth anything if you sound as pathetic as you do.

Dude, don’t be an asshole. Plus you make fun of them for bad English, when you have not been careful enough to check your own. First you write the word because twice in a row…… Not cool dude. Second the word ’seesm’ which should be seems, right? Then you ask Jenny if she has to add all of the g’s……do you need all of the exclamation points! See look I used one exclamation point! (Bad, Mars, Bad. Do NOT put another exclamation point!)
Please don’t be rude, people are allowed to talk and express themselves how they choose, without being judged.
With all the best intentions.

Okay, so In my honest opinion, I dont know why you guys are not played frequently on the radio. It is so edgy, yet completley reachable from pretty much any pop cultrure standpoint. I actually found you guys on Lady Gagas Favorited videos on youtube, odd lol.
But this song, is one of the most amazing on the album. Great vibe, and ridiculously shitten lyrics, because they are soo true!!!
& Im going to play like I didnt make a scene when I went into Hot Topic and asked if they sold your guys’s band T’s…. when I already knew they didnt after looking online… hahahah…. and I was like this is BS… and we videotaped it for some youtube lmoa.
But goodluck lol. keep this up.
