My Stupid Mouth lyrics

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, I 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
