Country music duo Sugarland‘s “Babe” was co-written by former country music darling Taylor Swift, so it’s only appropriate that she would be included in the official music video. While Jennifer Nettles plays the perfect 1960’s housewife, a red-headed Swift portrays the ‘other woman’ who temporarily steals Nettles’ husband, played by actor Brendan Routh, away.
Enjoy the video, which was also thought up by Swift, below!
That ending is perfect. Nettles washes her hands of her no-good husband and leaves every trace of him out in the front yard. He’s out of luck when he returns home and can’t return to his lover— since he already broke things off with her. Watch the video again to catch Sugarland’s Kristian Bush taking on different background characters.
“Babe” Lyrics
What a shame
Didn’t wanna be the one that got away, yeah
Big mistake, broke the sweetest promise
That you never should have made
I’m here on the kitchen floor
You call, but I won’t hear it
You said no one else, how could you do this, babe?
You really blew this, babe
We ain’t getting through this one, babe
This is the last time I’ll ever call you, babe
This is the last time, this is the last time
This is the last time, I’ll ever call you babe
What a waste
Taking down the pictures and the plans we made, yeah
And it’s strange how your face doesn’t look so innocent
Your secret has its consequence and that’s on you, babe
I break down every time you call
We’re a wreck, you’re the wrecking ball
We said no one else, how could you do this, babe?
You really blew this, babe
We ain’t getting through this one, babe
This is the last time I’ll ever call you, babe
This is the last time, this is the last time
This is the last time
Since you admitted it, I keep picturing
Her lips on your neck, I can’t unsee it
I hate that because of you, I can’t love you
Babe
What a shame, didn’t want to be the one that got away
How could you do this, babe?
You really blew this, babe
We ain’t getting through this one, babe
How could you do this, babe
This is the last time, this is the last time
This is the last time, I’ll ever call you babe (how could you do this babe?)
I’m here on the kitchen floor, you call but I won’t hear it
You said I’m no one else, we ain’t getting through this one, babe
I break down every time you call
This is the last time, this is the last time (we’re a wreck, you’re the wrecking ball)
You said I’m no one else, this is the last time
I’ll never call you babe
