Artist/Band: John Mayer
Lyrics for Song: My Stupid Mouth
Lyrics for Album: Inside Wants Out



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
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, just wanna be funny
Looks like the joke's 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
I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now


My Stupid Mouth

Emerging during a period where Mayer explored a grittier, blues-inflected sound, the song captures his signature blend of introspective lyricism and sophisticated guitar work. The recording reflects the artist's willingness to confront personal vulnerabilities through a polished, contemporary lens. While the album received mixed reactions upon release, this particular composition highlights Mayer's enduring ability to craft emotionally resonant pop-rock anthems. It serves as a testament to his evolution as a songwriter, balancing technical proficiency with raw, relatable sentiment. The track remains a notable song in his extensive discography, showcasing the dynamic range that has defined his career across multiple decades of recording.
