My Stupid Mouth

My stupid mouth Has got me in trouble I said too much again To a date over dinner yesterday And I could see She was offended She said "well anyway" Just dying for a subject change Oh, another social casualty Score one more for me How could I forget? Mama said "think before speaking" No filter in my head Oh, what's a boy to do I guess he better find one soon We bit our lips She looked out the window Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker And I could see clearly An indelible line was drawn Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong Oh, the way she feels about me has changed Thanks for playing, try again. How could I forget? Mama said "think before speaking" No filter in my head Oh, what's a boy to do I guess he better find one I'm never speaking up again It only hurts me I'd rather be a mystery Than she desert me Oh I'm never speaking up again Starting now One more thing Why is it my fault? So maybe I try too hard But it's all because of this desire I just want to be liked I just want to be funny Looks like the jokes on me So call me captain backfire I'm never speaking up again It only hurts me I'd rather be a mystery Than she desert me Oh I'm never speaking up again Starting now
