Better Than Ezra - Bad Communication

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1993509
Glad that I picked up your call
Cause your voice is like a chemical
Sinking 'til it numbs my brain
Now your words are sounding heavenly
Talk to me in French
Talk to me in Spanish
I love it when you speak
And I don't understand it
What?

Bad communication
Tongue tied in your mouth
But if you move in my direction
Betcha words spill right out, don't it feel right
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
Cause I'm oh so needy
I'm oh so needy

Take me somewhere I don't know
From the Beach to the Hills from the North to the South
Anywhere you wanna go
From your lips through your teeth
Spinning round and around
Huh?
See Better Than Ezra LiveGet tickets as low as $29Bad communication
Tongue tied in your mouth
But if you move in my direction
Betcha words spill right out, don't it feel right
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
Cause I'm oh so needy
I'm oh so needy

Talk to me in French
Talk to me in Spanish
I love it when you speak
And I don't understand it
Talk to me in French
Talk to me in Spanish
I love it when you speak
And I don't understand it
What?

Bad communication
Tongue tied in your mouth
But if you move in my direction
Betcha words spill right out, don't it feel right
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
Cause I'm oh so needy
I'm oh so needy
Talk to me in French
Talk to me in Spanish
Cause I'm oh so needy
I'm oh so needy
Talk to me in French
Talk to me in Spanish
Cause I'm oh so needy
I'm oh so needy

Biography

edit bio
Better than Ezra is a college rock group in the literal sense – it was formed by four students at Louisiana State University in 1988. Two of those four – Kevin Griffin (vocals and guitar) & Tom Drummond (bass guitar) – have been the constant core of the group. The third, guitarist Joel Rundell, died before the group signed its first recording contract. The fourth, drummer Cary Bonnecaze, left the group acrimoniously after their first major-label album went platinum.

Griffin and Drummond decided to keep Better than Ezra going by hiring a new guitarist/keyboardist, James Arthur Payne Jr., and a new drummer, Travis McNabb. McNabb left on good terms in 2009, and Michael Jerome took over the drums.
