My baby says I mistreat her
I don't know about that
I only know when I beat her
She like to call me a -
She keeps on playing those b-side records
All day long in the flat
"they're a little bit obscure" she says
I call her a -
B-side baby
And that's that
She's just a b-side baby
And that's a fact
I think "punk" is an overused word
As a matter of fact
I hate joey ramone when he says
He's gonna beat on a -
He's going to find himself d-d-down an alley
With his face beaten flat
And a spray job in bright pink letters, saying
B-r-a-t spells
B-side baby
My baby says I mistreat her
I don't know about that
I only know when I beat her
She like to call me a -
She keeps on playing those b-side records
All day long in the flat
"they're a little bit obscure" she says
I call her a -
B-side baby
And that's that
She's just a b-side baby
And that's a fact
I think "punk" is an overused word
As a matter of fact
I hate joey ramone when he says
He's gonna beat on a -
He's going to find himself d-d-down an alley
With his face beaten flat
And a spray job in bright pink letters, saying
B-r-a-t spells

Released by the British pop group Adam and the Ants, "B - Side Baby" stands as a defining track from their early 1980s repertoire.
