My Stupid Mouth

[Verse 1]

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..."

I'm just dying for a subject change

[Bridge]

Oh, it's 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'd better find one soon, yeah

[Verse 2]

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

[Bridge]

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed

Thanks for playin', 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

[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 speakin' up again

Starting now

Starting now

[Verse 3]

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

Just want to be funny

Looks like the joke's on me

So call me Captain Backfire

[Chorus]

I'm never speakin' up again

It only hurts me

I'd rather be a mystery

Than she desert me

Oh, I'm never speakin' up again

I'm never speakin' up again

I'm never speakin' up again

Starting now

Starting now
