Becky Lyrics

BFF and you're such a good friend,
but I knew it couldn't last 'til summers end,
you signed my year book and that was pretty rad,
but now I'm getting sick of you and it's just too bad,

I hear you talked a lot of shit about me,
to your new best friend,

that doesn't matter anyway,
'cause I've got a brand new friend okay,
me and her, we'll kick your arse,
we'll wait with knives after class,

But you know I gotta say,
I really loved going to your slumber party,
it's too bad you got so lame,
you told my secrets and it caused me a lot of pain,

I hear you talked a lot of shit about me,
to your new best friend,

that doesn't matter anyway,
'cause I've got a brand new friend okay,
me and her, we'll kick your arse,
we'll wait with knives after class,

Now give me back, all the clothes you borrowed,
don't give me bullshit, bring them to school tomorrow,
I can't believe I told you all about my secret crush,
wish I could take it back, now that you broke my trust,

It was great how you made me a friendship bracelet,
but I didn't know you made one for Becky face lift,
you know now everyone hates me a whole bunch,
just because I made you cry a little bit at lunch,
but I don't feel bad,
'cause they don't know what we had,

that doesn't matter anyway,
'cause I've got a brand new friend okay,
me and her, we'll kick your arse,
we'll wait with knives after class,

We don't like Becky anymore,
We don't like Becky anymore,
We don't like Becky anymore,
We don't like Becky anymore,

Now I'm going to juvey for teenage homocide,
it would all have been cool if you'd stayed by my side,
then you know that you wouldn't have had to die,
and now, every single night I cry,

if only what you'd wrote in my yearbook was true,
then I wouldn't be stuck in fucking cell block two,
but I don't regret what I've done,
'cause in the end it was fun,

that doesn't matter anyway,
'cause I've got a brand new friend okay,
me and her, we'll kick your arse,
we'll wait with knives after class,

that doesn't matter anyway,
'cause I've got a brand new friend okay,
me and her, we'll kick your arse,
we'll wait with knives after class

Be Your Own Pet (often abbreviated to BYOP) was a four-piece garage rock group from Nashville, Tennessee, USA. In August 2008, they announced their split after six years together.

The teenage band consisted of lead singer Jemina Pearl Abegg, the daughter of Christian artist/photographer Jimmy Abegg; guitarist Jonas Stein, the son of manager Burt Stein; John Eatherly (drums); and Nathan Vasquez (bass), the son of acclaimed latin jazz guitarist Rafael Vasquez. Founding member Jamin Orall quit the band to finish college and tour with his other band, Jeff, just before Be Your Own Pet's 2006 American tour. Sixteen-year-old John Eatherly, an old friend of the band, took over behind the kit.

BYOP formed in 2003 in the basement of the Orrall home, which doubles as a home studio/rehearsal space for indie label Infinity Cat Recordings.

Their sound is basic, primal garage rock and are often compared to popular New York group Yeah Yeah Yeahs, partially for their style, featuring heavy rock guitars with abrasive vocals and erratic, angular rhythms, but more due to comparisons between Abegg and Yeah Yeah Yeahs front woman Karen O, both of whom are women with a dynamic, non-traditional stage presence.

Be Your Own Pet generated a massive amount of press following the release of their debut single "Damn Damn Leash" on Infinity Cat. The single was produced by Kings of Leon producer Angelo and Infinity Cat's Robert Ellis Orrall, and mixed by Modest Mouse mix engineer Jaquire King. The press included an interview in Rolling Stone, appearances at the Glastonbury and Reading/Leeds festivals, as well as successful appearances at SXSW and slots supporting bands such as The Kills. The band also appeared on the Queen tribute album, Killer Queen: A Tribute to Queen, covering the classic "Bicycle Race". The band released their eponymous album in the UK in March 2006, and in the US in June 2006.

On August 1, 2008, after cancelling a stint on Warped Tour and a tour with The Black Keys, the band announced on their website that after finishing a small tour of England, they would be breaking up. No reason was given for the decision. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
