Ben Folds Five(1994-2000) was a three-member band formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, who until their breakup in 2000 were a mainstay of piano rock. Much of their work was influenced by jazz, evident in frequent improv-styled passages through bridge and/or ending. The members of the band were: Ben Folds, the lead singer and pianist, who also wrote most of the songs; Robert Sledgeon bass and Darren Jesseeon drums. The group enjoyed the success of the single Brickin 1998, a ballad written by Folds (with a chorus by Jessee) about his high school girlfriend getting an abortion. This song has, to a large degree, misrepresented the band to fans who aren't familiar with their other work; "Brick" is a serious ballad, whereas most of their music is characterised by jazz inflections and witty, humorous lyrics.

Give Judy My Notice Lyrics
Ben Folds Five
Judy
Could anyone be loved anymore
than I love you
does it hurt you too?
But Judy
I've been feeling small too long
I love you so
but something's wrong
and I come running when you want me here
and when you want me to, I disappear
Give Judy my notice
I knew if I made it easy for you
you'd settle for me, yeah eventually
but Judy
I won't be your bitch anymore
and follow you 'round
and hold the door
and I can't do this any longer
the vacuum left is so much stronger
Give Judy my notice
Give Judy my notice
Judy you know I'm not mad anymore
at least most of the time
but that could take a while
I've been living just to see you smile
every once in a while
Tears fall
but that don't mean nothing at all
It's just cause I said it first
yeah, that's why it hurts
And I'm not sorry if you're not sorry
And you're not sorry until I make you
Give Judy my notice
Give Judy my notice
Give Judy my notice
Give Judy my notice
My notice
