Tell the Girl
From Voodoo Shoppe
[edit] Notes
- Written and sung by Fred LeBlanc
- Live shows have featured female bassists singing the bridge and/or the line "Get down on your knees"
- Occasionally live versions include "clean" lyrics, substituting in "butt-hole" and "butt-head." However, the references to giving head and nookie usually remain, though the latter usually doesn't have accompanying hand motions in the "clean" version.

[edit] Lyrics
Well it looks like I'm a dumb ass, I done dropped the ball again 'Cause the woman I love is pissed at me saying this has got to end Now I tore it up late late last night--got way too drunk, it's true Can I somehow make it up to her? Is there anything I can do? You've got to tell the girl you're sorry for anything you ever said Tell the girl you're sorry for making her wish she was dead Tell the girl you're sorry for leaving her alone and cold Tell the girl you're sorry for being such an asshole (asshole!) So she tells me she's getting really really tired of the crap I tend to pull Like showing up where she works naked covered in baby oil Now I'm trying really hard, trying really hard, trying to keep my evil side in check But sometimes you just gotta kick the cat and deal with what you get You've got to tell the girl you're sorry for being such a selfish jerk Tell the girl you're sorry for not caring that the kitty got hurt Tell the girl you're sorry 'cause the two of you ain't wed Tell the girl you're sorry for being such a shit-head (shit-head!) I'll say I'm wrong Will this take long? No need for you to go on and on I earn my keep Just give me peace I swear I love you Let me sleep Now it seems that I must apologize even though I think I'm right 'Cause Lordy knows, honey if I don't there will be no nookie tonight So I slowly turn to the woman I love saying "Baby, baby, baby please" Then I watch her smile and point to me, saying "Get down on your knees and..." Tell the girl you're sorry for everything you never said Tell the girl you're sorry for giving really lousy head Tell the girl you're sorry for feelings you can never show Tell the girl you're sorry for being such an asshole You've got to tell the girl you're sorry (oh oh oh)....
