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



PRE-CHORUS

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



PRE-CHORUS

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 ...



CHORUS

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

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 wanna be liked, I just wanna be funny

Looks like the joke's on me

So call me Captain Backfire



CHORUS

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

I'm never speaking up again

I'm never speaking up again, starting now

Starting now
