(Baby Wants To) Tame Me Lyrics

Framed
I'm framed in love again
Peekin at the end
Baby wants to tame me
So afraid to live her life alone
She'd make a happy home
But only if she tames me

Hey
I'm driving her away
Black and white to gray
Back and forth i'll sway
I'm driving her away
Hey
Nothing good can stay
Black and white to gray
Back and forth i sway
I guess I'll never be what she sees in me
Baby wants to tame me

Blame
She knows something's wrong
She's seen it all along
But she don't wanna blame me
So afraid to live her life alone
She'd make a happy home
Baby wants to tame me

Hey
I'm driving her away
Black and white to gray
Back and forth i'll sway
l'm driving her away
Hey
Nothing good can stay
Black and white to gray
Back and forth i sway
I'm driving her away away away

Hey
Nothing good can stay
Black and white to gray
Back and forth i sway
Yea
I guess i'll never be what you'll see in me
Baby wants to tame me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

To me I think this song is about a girl who wants her boyfriend to settle down, hence the name "baby wants to tame me." The guy isn't really so sure he wants to settle down and by being indecisive he is "driving her away." On the other hand he thinks the girl would be a great catch: "she'll make a happy home." Local H kicks ass, if you haven't heard them go out and buy As Good As Dead. That's their best album but all of them are great.

I think this song is about the girl wanting her boyfriend to be someone he's not, purely because she's afraid of living her life alone.
