Tell Me Baby Lyrics
Some dreams were meant to be declined
Tell the man what did you have in mind
What have you come to do
No learning while you're in the line
I'll take you to the broken sign
You see the lights are blue
Lost it at the city limit
Say goodbye
Cause they will find a way to trim it
Everybody
Lookin' for a silly gimmick
Gotta get away
Can't take it for another minute
Just look at what the current brings
So high it's only promising
This place was made on you
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time
Tell me lover are you lonely
The thing we need is
Never all that hard to find
Tell me baby what's your story
Where do you come from
And where you wanna go this time
Your so lovely are you lonely
Giving up on the innocence you left behind
To shrewd to blow the interlude
Sustaining pain to set a mood
Step out to be renewed
Jungle brothers on the microphone
Getting over with an undertone
It's time to turn to stone
When your nose is in the nitty gritty
Life could be a little sweet
But life could be a little shitty
What a pity
Boston and a kansas city
Looking for a hundred
But you only ever found a fitty
You ring just like a xylophone
Devoted to the chromosome
The day that you left home
Where you come from
And where you gonna go this time
Tell me lover, are you lonely?
The thing we need is never all that hard to find
Tell me baby, whats your story?
Where do you come from
And where you wanna go this time?
You're so lovely, are you lonely?
Giving up on the innocence you left behind
Where you come from
And where you gonna go this time
Tell me lover, are you lonely?
The thing we need is never all that hard to find
Tell me baby, whats your story?
Where do you come from
And where you wanna go this time?
You're so lovely, are you lonely?
Giving up on the innocence you left behind

as for the meaning.. well at one of the promo gigs, he said it's about a river that runs into LA, and that works superficially. However i think it's more about the people that move from all over the US to LA to realise their dream of being famous. and the chorus is like him speaking to one of these people, asking about where they came from, and what they want to achieve in Hollywood.
that's my take, any other ideas?

That's what he said in the DVD. Rivers of people from across the U.S. heading toward hollywood and L.A.

Its about how lots of people travel to LA in order to make it big. People from all over the nation, in order to become a model, a huge magician, an actor, but sometimes they fail, and LA feeds on their positive optimism but also feeds on their sad failure...

I just love this song, and the last thing I want is that it goes out on the radio! Here in Sweden ALL songs gets overplayed...

Why did you even post these lyrics?
Anyhoo lyrics aside it's a great song. Funky with a really mellow chorus, I'd say it's Funkello or mellunk!

I like this song. Its kinda hard to say what exactly the song means when you can't really hear what Anthony is saying.
I always thought it was "The thing we need is never all that hard to find"

Im with Quazy, why post it when you don't know it???
That aside, a great song, and i'd say funkello...

This is going to be the next single after Dani California!
yay
Im glad there is slapping

Love how he's rapping again.
Come and get it! Get-lost-in-the-city-limits!

lets get some correcting going man!!! below are the CORRECT lyrics!!!
They come from every state to find Some dreams were meant to be defined Tell the man what did you have in mind What have you come to do?
No turning water into wine No learning while you're in the line I'll take you to the broken sign You see these lights are blue
Come and get it Lost it at the city limit Say goodbye 'Cause they will find a way to trim it Everybody Looking for a silly gimmick Gotta get away Can't take it for another minute
This town is made of many things Just look at what the current brings So high it's only promising This place was made on you
Tell me baby, whats the story? Where you come from And where you gonna go this time Tell me lover, are you lonely? The thing we need is never all that hard to find Tell me baby, whats your story? Where do you come from And where you wanna go this time? You're so lovely, are you lonely? Giving up on the innocence you left behind
Some claim to have the fortitude Too shrew to blow the interlude Sustaining pain to set a mood Step out to be renewed
I'll move you like a baritone Jungle brothers on the microphone Getting over with an undertone Its time to turn to stone
Chitty chitty baby When your nose is in the nitty gritty Life could be a little sweet But life could be a little shitty What a pity Boston and kansas city Looking for a hundred But you only ever found a fifty
Three fingers in the honeycomb You ring just like a xylophone Devoted to the chromosone The day you left that home
Tell me baby, whats the story? Where you come from And where you gonna go this time Tell me lover, are you lonely? The thing we need is never all that hard to find Tell me baby, whats your story? Where do you come from And where you wanna go this time? You're so lovely, are you lonely? Giving up on the innocence you left behind
Tell me baby, whats the story? Where you come from And where you gonna go this time Tell me lover, are you lonely? The thing we need is never all that hard to find Tell me baby, whats your story? Where do you come from And where you wanna go this time? You're so lovely, are you lonely? Giving up on the innocence you left behind
