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 wanna be liked

I just wanna be funny

Looks like the jokes on me

So call me captain backfire



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
