The Lyrics
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Huge pain, such pain
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Eight babies, save me
I won't say the birth was the best of times
To say that was a ball would be the worst lie
But that was then, tryna deal with the kids
Is an awful task, hard to deal with it
Big fits, I wince because darkness
Have you known the hell that's right upon this earth
When your light's off and there's dirty girls (eight babies c'mon)?
At least you assume that's the deal
A lot of noise that hurts but it's hard to feel
What the answer is, awake is just what you are not
It's tough to keep your cool
Same crap each day
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Huge pain, huge pain
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Eight babies, save me (eight babies)
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Such pain, such pain
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Can't avoid all the hurt, this is crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap
Even when the lights are on
I'm still sleepy to my core
Because these little snots won't shut their yaps
Whether I gently shush or scream loud, I'm trapped
A lot you wanna say 'bout how the pain
Of their mess will be worth it one day
When they have grown and you may have a point
And the point is: they're leavin'
But I still say
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Huge pain, huge pain
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Eight babies, save me (eight babies)
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Such pain, such pain
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
The smell's not really worth it, it's crap
Hear me out, hear me out, hear me out
That's if you can over their shouts
Think it's a pain to handle one baby?
Wouldn't know myself because the universe hates me (that's right)
The things I've seen could drive most folks crazy
Friggin' babies, eight, eight babies (yeah)
Can't take a break, folks would say I'm lazy
They'd do it themselves, no ifs or buts, zero maybes (yeah, man)
It's not a breeze when eight tots scream "Change me!"
Friggin' babies, eight, eight babies
You know what I miss? Vision not bein' hazy
Lack of sleep ain't good but just one nap would pain me
Three kids would run off, the rest would fingerpaint me
Drivin' me crazy, eight babies
But I can't go back on the deal
I'd watch the boys and girls and make all the meals
While my partner spends the day makin' giant cash wads
To save for their high school
That's right
I'll take the pain
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Huge pain, huge pain
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Eight babies, save me (eight babies)
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Such pain, such pain
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Washin' all those bums could drive most sane folks crazy (crazed)
Eight babies, eight babies, eight (eight babies)
Huge pain (eight babies), huge pain
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Like to smear their lips on the walls, drives me crazy (eight babies)
Eight babies, eight babies, eight (eight babies)
Such pain (eight babies), such pain
Eight babies, eight babies, eight
Dread the day they all learn to talk back
