[Verse 1]
Please don't be technology
So I can’t turn off your love like some cold machine
Don't feed me scraps from your bed
I won't be the stray comin' back just to be fed

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't be waves, come and seal my fate marine
Just pretend that you want me

[Chorus 1]
And be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my—

[Verse 2]
Well, don't be that note I can't hold
Well, don't be that joke that I told and told ‘til it got old
Don't be that hand 'round my throat so I can't breathe (So I can’t breathe)
Say you're my friend but why won't you be my family?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And if you breed, just don't tell me
[Chorus 2]
And be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe (We will celebrate, then we die faster)
Be my babe, be my babe (We’ll have our harmonies, wanting our slaughter)
Be my babe, be my babe (And would you want me [?]?)
Be my babe, be my babe (See, every time I rave, it’s about you)

[Bridge]
Be my serene
(Slowing up) Tell me you know what I mean
(Prove me wrong) You've set on me, but you are not the sun
You will not listen (How do I know what I am?)
(Burn it down) I’m outside and growin' roots again
(Come around) You’ve set on me, but you are not the sun
You will not listen

[Pre-Chorus 3]
So let's pretend that you love me

[Chorus 3]
And be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my—
