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", I'm just dyin' for a subject change

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

We bit our lips, she looked out the window
Rollin' 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 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'd better find one

I'm never speakin' up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she deserting me
Oh, I'm never speakin' 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 jokes on me
So call me captain backfire

I'm never speakin' up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she deserting me

Oh, I'm never speakin' up again
I'm never speakin' up again
I'm never speakin' up again
Starting now
Starting now
