about

Baby (Hard To Handle) might be our favorite cover. I always loved the Otis Redding original and the Black Crowes made it relevant in the 90's so everybody seems to love that song. We recorded it because we were doing this thing called #TwitterLove at the time. People would request songs on Twitter and we’d put up a video every Wednesday. We were going to do a sweet video for Baby, there was a camera in my vocal booth, a mobile camera and Austin put his phone in his shoe and left it up on the balcony to record. The video never happened, the only footage I ever saw that survived was the vocal booth stuff..but we had the recording, and the knowledge that Austin was killing it with only one shoe on.

lyrics

Baby, here I am I'm a man on the scene
I can give you what you want but ya got to come home with me
I've got some good ol' lovin' and I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on ya, you got to come back for more

Boys and things will come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drug store love
Pretty little thing let me light your candle cause mamma I'm sure hard to handle now
(Yes I am)

Action speaks louder than word and I'm a man with a real experience
I know you've got you another man but I can love you better than him
Take my hand, don't be afraid, I wanna prove every word I say
I'm advertising love for free so won't you place your ad with me

Boys and things will come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drug store love
Pretty little thing let me light your candle cause mamma I'm sure hard to handle now
(Yes I am)

Baby, here I am I'm a man on the scene
I can give you what you want just come go home with me
I've got some good ol' lovin' and I got some more in store
When I get through whippin' it on ya baby come on home for more

Boys and things will come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but ten cent love now
Pretty little thing let me light your candle cause mamma mamma mamma mamma mamma
Oh yes I am baby

Hey mamma, said I'm
(Sure hard to handle baby)
x7

Baby, here I am
